    Could you summarize the video to tell people what to expect? That could help. It’s annoying to be asked to watch a video without good evidence in advance that it’s worth watching.

      The video’s message is that Rust is positioned to be the universal programming language of the future - one that developers can learn once and use across all domains throughout their entire careers, similar to how C served that role for previous generations of programmers.

        Thanks. Rust is interesting to me as a systems language but calling it universal seems like overreach.

          This is why you need to watch the video. It will show you why it’s not overreach but reality.

            No I don’t think I need to watch it. That’s like saying I should watch TV all day to not miss anything important.

              Then you will continue to be misinformed in thinking Rust isn’t universal. Your loss.

                If the video has anything enlightening to say I’m sure it’s ideas will get out into the part of the programming community that has learned how to read and write, and I’ll find out about it then. If that doesn’t happen, the video must not be so compelling after all. I’ll wait and see.

          I have several web services built in Rust, along with CLI tools, and a desktop GUI app. I’ve also player with a little bit of Rust in an embedded context and started on a phone app. Not many languages can boast a similar development experience across such diverse use cases, so universal doesn’t seem like much hyperbole.

            Can you name any reasonably popular language that hasn’t been used for all those things? And if Rust is the new C, would anyone say C is universal? I’ve written tons of C. I can say C isn’t universal. Specifically, there is no universal language so far. Serious programmers have to know lots of them.

        Same issue. Does the person have trouble focusing their thoughts enough to write them down, or what? How long is the video, even? I shouldn’t have to click it to find out.

          No offense, but this is some serious laziness. The video is 10 minutes long, and you can literally take the transcript and dump it into an LLM, and you will have a get a short readable summary in like 20 seconds of work.

            So post the transcript. LLMs don’t interest me. Remember who it is who is trying to pitch a claim and find listeners. Or just tell me the main idea. If you’re saying an LLM summary would suffice, that’s even more evidence that the video is not worth watching.

            You see laziness in not watching a video, but I see it in making the video instead of taking the trouble to think out the ideas and write them down.

        That too. Or they could literally feed the transcript into an LLM and read a summary and main points.
