Nomad vs. Kubernetes

I know what mean, but it's not like they're pretending that much if it's an article hosted under nomadproject.io. The first question everyone is going to ask "why should I use this instead of K8s" so you might as well have a good answer.

On the other hand, the Rust project has purposefully avoided "Rust vs X" comparisons on its website. I can't find the HN comments to back this up, but people like steveklabnik have indicated that they don't find that sort of adversarial comparison to be useful. Rust has done an excellent job at community building, so I give a lot of credence to their approach.

Yes. This topic is long and complicated; maybe I'll write it up or give a talk or something someday.

There is a lot of nuance.

I'd love to read a blog post on that. I completely see how it's a difficult line to walk - you don't want to be "Rust is better than all these rubbish languages" but you still want to provide people with information so that they can make informed choice.

Yup exactly. Comparisons are important, but you also really want to avoid building an “us vs them” culture.

Well, Rust is currently the best programming language so it's the other languages that need to come up with a "X vs Rust".
