    What advantages come with rust? For a compiled program, I don’t see what benefits you get unless you are editing the source code.

        I write quite a bit of Rust, and I’m still at a loss.

        It’s easier to write a low-error program in Rust. But low-error program in any compiled language is going to be essentially identical.

          @jasory @1984 I suppose the main benefit/downside is that the apps will be monolithic and avoid DLL hell, hence more reliable in that way but also taking up more resources between them.
