Lots of downvotes but no replies. Rust is the language de jour on HN at the moment. Lots of comments about it being a young language so you’ll just have to wait.

I invite a healthy debate.

If you are looking for a platform for the RPi, check out the nerves project.

Because...

Libraries weren’t maintained or in a state of development for months without regular commits. Statements like “sometimes this doesn’t work” or commits that totally redesigned an api. Meaning you have to rewrite your code.

I need stability and some maturity in personal projects due to time constraints. Not a jab at Rust, I’m still in wait and watch mode. Looking to learn a low level language in the next year and Rust is my top choice.
