asking out of my own ignorance, what's so hard with rust that you cannot convince people and contribute to that directly instead of going on your way? i remember so few of these projects survived over the years. do you think it'll really become something other than your pet project?
It takes the fun out of this. I like JavaScript and Python. If I need to type system, there’s always type script and C#.
I don’t care about a bunch of memory management details, and if I ever want to I might as well use C++ and become a quant.
I learn a new programming language for one of two reasons, there’s a framework or engine that requires it. For example, Godot with GD script.
Or to make more money.
Python was a very happy mix of both, I learned it to work with ML libraries as a hobby and later found it pays a lot more.
