That line got me
So close yet so far. Given the funding you need to rewrite your app in BOTH Haskell and Rust. Then depending on which one is in favor at launch time you go with that and never mention the other one. Then you look like a prophetic genius company no matter which way the market turns.
Does that mean it was shared read-write?
This deserves its own chapter.
Lack of market research right? They should at the very least have done it post launch. Maybe more pre launch too?
I think many of the other ones might have been survivable?
You shouldn't be scaring people away from a language that offers so much. Rust is not hard like all the dumb memes make it out to be. For startups where performance is vital (media, streaming), I'd argue it'll be indispensable [1].
The Rust bullying harms our community. We don't have the corporate backing of Go. Pick on something from Google or Apple instead.
[1] I wrote my media-intensive webapp, https://vo.codes, in Rust and I'm quite productive.
I hope they were thinking of https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ when they wrote this!
