Off topic but I'm really happy that the developers chose Rust to code Lemmy in. Low maintenance + high performance is the ideal combo for open source server software.
I'd second this. Knowing that the back-end is built on Rust was definitely big part of drove my excitement for this project!
Yeah, I only found out recently but it's the cherry on top
There are hardly any experienced Rust developers. It's going to be a big problem.
I might need to learn Rust. Java/Kotlin/C# are fine for work, but I'm interested in new stuff anyways.
I've heard the opposite from open source devs, that using Rust has increased the amount of contributions they get.
