Throughout 2024, I decided to focus on using only one programming language.

That language was Go, and by using it for an entire year exclusively, it allowed me to better understand the language and reduce decision fatigue.

This year, I plan on doing the same, but this time with Rust, which I'm more bullish about than ever before.

Dreams of Code

A developer shares their renewed enthusiasm for Rust after building a cross-platform video editor. Key reasons include maturing desktop GUI frameworks (Iced, Dioxus, egui), WGPU for graphics programming, WebAssembly support with memory64, superior memory efficiency compared to JavaScript alternatives, excellent API development with Axum, and strong FFI capabilities. The strict compiler is particularly valuable when using AI code generation tools, providing deterministic validation of non-deterministic output. Rising RAM costs and demand for performant CLI/TUI tools further strengthen Rust's position.

Why I'm so bullish about Rust in 2026

<p>This is so exciting. Glad too see innovation with Rust (and in general).</p>
