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.
