The author explores Rust as a programming language during Advent of Code (AoC) participation. While they find Rust to be a strong language in many respects, they conclude it's not suitable for general backend development and they wouldn't want to use it daily. They appreciate features such as the expression-based return system, the ease of adding parallelism with Rayon, and effective type inference. However, they are critical of its debugging tools, indicating there's still room for improvement.
I decided to tackle Rust. My goal? To determine whether Rust is a good language (spoiler: yes, it is), whether it's suitable for general backend development (no, it isn't) and whether I'd like to write it every day (no, I absolutely wouldn't).
