Not op, but I feel the same as them.

Compared to C++, Rust has a very good toolchain and libraries. With C++ setting up a project that has dependencies is… painful. I’m a full-time C++ programmer with over 8 years of experience and if I didn’t have to, I would never choose it for something new.

With Rust creating a new project and adding dependencies is trivial. There are a lot of great libraries and the ease with which you can use them is very empowering.
Clap and serde are super powers for CLI programs 😀

For smaller scripts that don’t yet “deserve” full rust treatment, I now use nushell for personal projects.

Impressive work!

That’s good. It means the platform is growing :P
