The post discusses the author's regret after rebuilding their algorithmic trading platform in Rust over 18 months. Initially enthusiastic about Rust's safety and purported speed, the author found the language challenging, particularly when dealing with verbose syntax, complex error handling, and async programming. Despite the upsides like speed and concurrency features, the author argues that Rust falls short in user experience and community support compared to other languages. The post suggests that Rust's steep learning curve and intricate error mechanisms make it difficult to write efficient code, especially for complex tasks like trading algorithms.

I Spent 18 Months Using Rust And Regret It

At least from my personal experience, one good thing about NOT being an early adopter of every new framework that comes out - is that you save a ton of time for learning it and realizing in hindsight that other technologies were still way better.
For me personally, it has always worked out well to give a new technology / framework 2+ years to mature and gather a good community around it.

First time I’m watching a video from Primeagen (I know I’m late) and I like how the video is structured. Even though I already read the article itself, it was interesting to go through it with him again as he provided context information or feedback from his own experience which adds more value to it.

Never understood the hype behind Rust.
<ul>
<li>If you want to build something use C</li>
<li>Java if you wanna do easy cross platform</li>
<li>and for minor fast scripting Python</li>
</ul>
But hey i never tried Rust ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m so pissed off that I just gave this guy a view on his video about reading an article someone else wrote…

Bad, bad rust! You guys should use python all over the place (satire off) <img src="https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNWpqbmltMmFiZHppNnEya2Y4Z2IxM2p3YnByczIzdGZvZ2F5YjNpayZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/3o6Ztl5vFVmHRp62ac/giphy.webp" alt="">
