Re:Rust Is Hard, Or: The Misery of Mainstream Programming by pas on Sunday June 05, 2022 @03:22AM (#31628785)
Oh I don't think the performance is bad, the JVM is an amazing technological platform, but it uses a lot of RAM, it's GC pauses are bad for latency, and the Scala/Java/JVM ecosystem is simply not that high quality as Rust's. (See all the security issues, log4j2, jdk ecdsa rewrite, just to name the few that come to mind in the last few months.)

And for TS I don't think I have to mention the quality of the underlying JS ecosystem :)

On the other hand, of course Rust is still on 1.x, GAT is still on the roadmap (though the RFC recently entered into final comment period (or how it's called), yaay!, and then a bunch of legitimate criticism was submitted..., so it might still take year(s))
