You can use Rust to develop client application for browsers. Check out dioxus.


Rust is an unergonomic language that slows development in the general case (because it has lots of arcane syntax and rules, and people generally don't know it). Suggesting it as the "obvious" choice ignores the tradeoffs that come with adopting it for a project.


You can just hire people who know Rust. One Rust developer would likely end up more productive than ten Cursor baby sitters in the long run, and you would actually get a high quality app.


This is like some kind of psy-op to get people to hate rust.


Sure. Then good companies will be able to filter out people by only hiring those who know Rust.


I don’t think this kind of sanctimoniousness has much of a success rate as a marketing approach.


No marketing can save humanity from its inevitable demise.


Yeah but Rust can’t either.
