Comments by "" (@d3stinYwOw) on "An Introduction to Coding In Rust for Pythonistas" video.

Great video! Instead of Rust, I'd rather pick Nim language, much more approachable to python developers, gives similar benefits like speed like rust, but simpler to pick up. Otherwise, because of Rust we have excellent python-centric packages like Ruff and Pylyzer :)

Nim is much better for pythonistas than Rust tho. I'd pick rust as 3rd language after Python and C, but if you pick Nim, you don't need rust that much :)

@austinraney Rust is not the only language which can do so. Nim also can ensure memory safety, but in different ways. Borrow checking is not a silver bullet, you know that, right? Plus, Mozilla shouldn't be followed in everything, look at their paychecks where firefox nosedives in popularity ;)

@isodoubIet Nim have gc which can be also disabled if needed. Plus, it's still much faster than python, simply because of translation to C, then compiling to binary :)

@isodoubIet You can control memory manually, of course. Nim GC is not that hurting it's performance too much, it's quite optimized, even for real-time usage :)
