My problem with Rust is that it’s a hammer, and every nail is memory safety. If I’m writing a TLS library or kernel module, yes, memory safety is paramount. But if I’m writing pretty much anything else, Rust isn’t worth the slog.

How is that a problem with rust? Like any language it's a tool with strengths and weaknesses. Don't use it when it doesn't make sense

Sorry, should have been clearer. I was thinking in the context of every online discussion I’ve run across around “Rust vs. any other language,” where the diehard Rustaceans insist that we should just rewrite everything in Rust.

Totally agree with you: use the best tool for the job.
