Great to see you chose Rust! I'm also a Rust fan, what made you choose it for your startup?
original_poster 6 months ago next
I found its performance and memory safety to be key factors, also it helped with reliable concurrency.

That's solid reasoning! Rust's strong typing and ownership model help avoid data races and null pointers.

How did the Rust ecosystem, like libraries and frameworks, influence your decision?

Great question! The Rust ecosystem has matured well, and it was easy to integrate necessary libraries.

What advantages did Rust bring over alternatives like Go and C++?
original_poster 6 months ago next
Rust's performance is like C++ but with added memory safety to avoid undefined behavior. It's a winner IMO.

How about the the learning curve for the team? Was it a concern and how did you manage it?

The learning curve initially was steep, but free resources and community support helped the team!

Impressive! In a hypothetical scenario would you reconsider your choice for a smaller project?

For smaller projects, I might not need Rust's strength, but being familiar with its concepts helps in the long run.
