A share from another share

Instead of scanning my surroundings for something relatable to turn into a social media post, I pay attention to blog posts and articles I read on the web. I’m constantly looking for anything of relevance that triggers and sparks my thinking into jotting down whatever thoughts I may have to add to the conversation. — Social media brain

Another positive blog post about blogging :)

Why Amazon, Cloduflare and Discord are building servers in Rust but you should probably not

Rust biggest weakness: it needs a strong ecosystem of libraries. This ecosystem is fragmenting over time.

Sylvain recommends however four use cases for Rust:

  • rewriting from C/C++ to Rust
  • optimizing and securing the icome if the development can take two
  • passionate that are already Rust experts and who are not counting their hours
  • while starting a compagny that will vertically integarte a lot of different systems, from embedded devices to web services, i.e. https://oxide.computer/

That being said, if Rust may not be the best choice to build servers, Rust shines every time you would have picked C if it didn't exist such as crafting shellcodes and building other security tools.
