Is Rust the future?

It takes you back to your basics. You go through each concept again. But what is not so good is everyone’s all-time hateful: Borrow checker &amp; Lifetimes :P

love: syntax and one-of-a-kind features
not so great as your first programming language and in terms of community (but it’s growing, this squad is an example).

Rust is on the hype.
And there is always a trend to use the hyped-solution everywhere.
Rust is for sure the future for low level programming and embedded systems.
Regarding web and AI, they might be niche use cases.
But the learning curve is what will make web devs and ai devs stick with easier solution for 99% of the cases. (Go, JS, Python, Mojo, PHP, Java, C# etc etc…).
Although I believe that learning Rust is great skill that inherently helps with other languages.

Its Ownership model for memory as compare to others languages (C,C++) Garbage Collector and Fast.
Its String type little bit much difficult to understand,I know its low level system programming language,but that is.

To be honest, im reading the book chapter 9 to be more precise.
For me after working with JS the last 10 years, rust feels so secure to do things. The ownership and borrow concepts i think are nice, I think the terminal is very explicit, and as i saw in the comments, String are a bit hard to learn for those who are starting but is a reasonable tradeoff.
