  • @TehPers @cm0002 I guess I can somewhat empathize with the author. But you’re right, the author seems to be frustrated that some things are inherently complex. Though, Rust has terrific documentation and a lot of literature to get enough understanding to where things aren’t necessarily runes anymore, but rich in meaning.
    I will say though, does nalgebra require custom derive macros? If you need to parse ast on the regular to use a library, I can definitely agree with his point on complexity.


  • @SorteKanin I realize that cost too. I’'d love to run Rust up and down my stack. But JS is very much still king unfortunately. The sheer breadth of materials, mature frameworks and libraries make it the prudent choice. But the documentation/example part is something I feel deeply. I remember struggling with iced.rs when I had to use it. Sure, there were examples, but it was a complete shift in thinking and implementing complex widgets and visuals was really hard. I felt a lot of similarities to that when I tried Dioxus. It is a terrific framework, it just needs time to mature, as does pretty much ever front end Rust framework.
