This kind of promotion creates the tense atmosphere around Rust in the community.
I wonder if anyone has read the linked article?
The overhead of goroutines are well known. The article describes the problem and a solution.
Now someone who got bitten by the overhead of goroutines complains with a (understandable) little bitter tone. He has a good explanation for the issue and why he didn't use Rust but Node.
Citation:
>> I started exploring various options ranging from Rust, Elixir, Crystal, and Node.js. Rust was my second choice, but it doesn't have a good, stable, production ready WebSocket server library yet. Crystal was dropped due to conservative nature of Boehm GC, and Elixir also used more memory than I expected. Node.js surprisingly gave me a nice balance of memory usage and speed.
Then someone didn't seem to have read all the stuff comes around and smartly calls "Use the awesome Rust".
Even as a Rust user myself I get annoyed.
Where is that citation from? Are you quoting from somewhere? I can't find it in the article.
