Re: [Vala] Use rust [was: Seeking for Vala programmer]

[Daogang <daogangtang 126 com>]

don't care that, I just mention it.

Rust is the most promising language in the coming 15 years, https://www.rust-lang.org/.

It is a system language, as c, c++, vala, but has more and more powerful theory basis than vala. It can 
reduce runtime bug significantly for its safty feature.

If let me choose, I want to recommand all elementary work transfering to rust.  :)  just keep your own 
direction.

can consider rust lang? i think it is promissing.


An advantage of Vala is it has first class bindings to a large number of excellent projects, e.g. GStreamer, 
Gtk+.
A quick search on Rust found this tutorial dated December 2015, but now advises "This guide is no longer 
compatible with the current codebase and thus will be rewritten in the future.":

https://www.gitbook.com/book/mmstick/rust-programming-phoronix-reader-how-to/details

So maybe there is some way for Rust to go on the bindings front. I didn't look too much at other differences.

Can you elaborate on your experiences with Rust and Vala that makes you recommend Rust?


Personally, I find it encouraging the Marcin Lewandowski and RadioKit are looking to employ a Vala 
programmer. Marcin has filed a number of useful bug reports after I think investing some considerable time in 
using Vala. I hope the Vala community continues to grow and address some of those issues.
