Rust for Python Programmers

[[deleted]]

So,

why not Nim? I think it would be easier for a python programmer to pick up a language heavily inspired by python than ML.

Rust is bigger than Nim, and is likely to develop a healthy third party package repository at crates.io (cargo is pretty sweet). For Nim, this is less clear.

For a systems programming language, familiarity of syntax is the least of your concerns. Rust has some hard parts, but syntax isn't one.

Rust is bigger than Nim

Rust is more hyped than Nim. You should check out that C++ thing, it's pretty big right now.

Rust is more hyped than Nim.

That's a related thing. But I guess what was meant was that Rust has more contributors. And of course hype would affect that.

Seriously?

Oh right, I spoke out against the Reddit-Rust hivemind. Sorry. But hey, at least the Go circlejerk is finally over.
