Rust vs. 7 other languages you probably haven't tried [video]

Video summary (from a Rust-focussed YouTube channel)

"We're going to compare Rust to seven other languages that you probably haven't tried. Each and every one of these seven languages gave me a different surprise that I didn't see coming."

- Rust

- Nim

- Julia

- Elixir

- Zig

- Haskell

- Lua

- Crystal

Challenge: "The program we're going to implement reads a line of space to limited numbers from standard input, and process some of those numbers. It's a simple program but one that quickly surfaces the idiosyncrasies of a programming language"

Impressions from the presenter:

- Most concise language: Haskell

- Coolest language features: Elixir's pipe operator

- Most underrated languages: Nim and Crystal

Disclaimer: "It's important to note that this isn't really a fair comparison. Each of these languages caters to a specific need. And in a sense we're comparing them in a way that some might consider surface level. But you do need to look at the surface at some point."
