Unless I need close to 100% memory safety with no compromise in performance I'd rather write Zig, Odin or Go.

Zig and Odin are much more enjoyable to write and provide enough safety for a lot of applications, and Go gets you 90% of the performance of Rust without the complexity.

If you need that, you go Ada.

Rust is practically the same as Zig, when compared to Ada.


I swear there are people who take a massive amount of pride in using languages or technology that are obscure. That thing use to be Rust, but now that it's become fairly mainstream they have to find something new to move to.

I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing "Ada is the new Rust" YouTube videos.
