Why JavaScript Devs are Switching to Rust in 2024

We are very excited to see what developers will build with Rust in 2024!

Let us know if you'd like to see Rust tutorials! 🦀

forget rust, learn C++ B)

"You can control how much memory is reserved with each type. Instead of the inferred i32, which reserves space for numbers from about negative two million to positive two million..." Um, you're off by 3 orders of magnitude: 2^32 = +4B, which means 2^31 = ±2B.

lol, why would they ever swicth to rust

'mut' is just a cudgel to bully Rust programmers into adopting functional programming: "yes, you can code imperatively, but <del>your lunch is mine and you must bow whenever you see me</del> you must put mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut everywhere, or it will be like your program is running in ROM".

GC manages memory for you. C and C++ let you manage memory yourself. Rust has rules that effectively prevent you from coding anything nontrivial in it; if you try, you will routinely find yourself pushing the stupid compile error foot by foot for hours upon hours upon hours upon hours on end, and at the end the error will slip out of your hands and roll back all the way to the bottom where you started.

Rust is the answer to cpp. But I want it to be answer to the simplicity of python. Hope it will get only better.

Clear explanation

Okay but I choose go for syntax joy and easy learn

This is the worst and most inaccurate explanation of compiled code/compilation I have ever heard.

i hate the crab

Could anyone recommend why to learn rust as a frontend developer? I’m interested in learning but not sure if it’s worth it and how to do the switch, thanks

Meanwhile in 2022: RUST is 📈 in 2023.

Oh man please shut up i just spend months learning typescript after years learning js and now you are making me want to learn rust T.T and what i need is to get a good job

No, the don't! 😂 That would be really self-harming ml move.

Stupid clickbait. Thumb down

Am I the only one who feels Rust is easy than JS to understand?

Does anyone have seen any examples front-end on rust? I’ve just never seen anything like this… I don’t want argue about it, I really interested in it and want to understand is it possible that rust become one of the frontend part or it’s just a hipe

Because javascript programmers are basically a code monkeys and there are so many of them today that they have no job.

All these "points" are pretty basic, and any decent js dev with cs101 already knows. The one thing rust people keep "forgetting" to mention is development speed. We know js is garbage, but it's gonna stick. Hopefully it gets less garbage in the future🤞 Rust is awesome, but like all other awesome languages, no one knows if it's gonna be around

God knows how I'd love to see Rust frameworks for web having high adoption! Web really needs even better tooling than TS, and JS needs a competitor. Competition always brings benefits to customers!

What is your font in vscode, looks nice

That’s quite the leap in difficulty. May as well go on to C++

I think Rust is Rusty.

I thought javascript developers are switching to golang? LOL

People who still using jquery in 2024 👀

Need a complete tutorial for TypeScript Developer 💖

So all the the guys switching to Rust said exactly the same thing verbatim? It seems to me there is a lot of plumbing you need to do with Rust. It seems to be a good language for certain requirements. A good tool to have in your skillset. It's not going to be the tool for every job..

It reminds me golang

framework tool devs are switching, not JS devs

What a dumb solution in this Rust. It's like he was made for 'dumb people' that can't understand basics. 😀

Nonsense. A percent of a percent maybe.

NO, we are not switching

The problem with JS is well its crap, and near all the jobs are in the equally terrible React. You don't need it sorry but 99% of the time you just sprinkle JS

Not at all. I am staying to js.

Switching to rust? When this happened 😂

Great video, you taught me so much in one video, May be it's time to for you to teach me everything with roadmap

Who?

no not yet

You messed up millions and billions in the explanation to i32

Why don’t they just put rust in the browser then. Or is there at least a proposal

🤦🏿

Rust is a different class of language to JS they are not interchangeable. Language class determine how it relates to memory and consequently this affects performance. JS is in the same class of language as Python, Perl, and PHP, mid tear languages such as C#, Java, Go deal with memory in a slightly different way. And finally systems languages (Rust, C,, C++,Zig,) gives you control over more aspects of memory allocation (including where memory is allocated).

How are the memory benefits retained after compiling to JS?

No we are happy with javascript and typescript 😂

@warpdotdev: what is an application of 'rust', especially comparing to js?

i32 should be from -2G to +2G, not from -2M to 2M. Billions* instead of millions. You may prove it with our calculator :)

Nice propaganda crap people!!!

Just rewrote and entire SAAS in rust. It was well worth it. WASM is awesome too.
