Now, the correct comment in this context; why not Rust?
You might like Rust. It has a much better story in these areas.
What if Rust itself is the better tooling?
Which is the exact use case someone would choose rust for over other languages
That can't really be the main reason, Rust is doing just fine without it.
You do realize people write rust for a reason right? Not because it's new and shiny...
Doesn't seem to answer my main question about Rust vs everything else which is what is the more joyful to work in?
Can you elaborate why you think Rust is a better choice?
Rust certainly is promising but it will not replace all other languages. Is Rust a better choice than C or C++? Probably. Java, Go, or Python? I don’t think so. Rust has flaws:1. It is hard to learn. A novice will pick up something like Python much faster2. It is less productive. You “fight” the borrow checker in Rust and have long compilation times.
Rust isn't a prototyping language.
