Re: Rust is just the latest fad
I assure you Rust is not a fad. In fact I see it picking up steam all the time. It's already big at Microsoft internally and no doubt other large ISV's are also researching it.
Rust's biggest problem is that it doesn't have a nice UI framework like wxWidgets. There are some Qt bindings but those are not native Rust and therefore lose a lot of the benefits of Rust.
