>Yeah sure, but what compares that gives you similar perf, safety, and language features to Rust?

I've already answered it in the original article — Rust is already here, and better language is not. Still, it will not make me say "it's the best option we have by now" — because it's not nearly the best option.

Performance? Lots of code is cold and not impacting performance much. You just don't need everything written in Rust or C++.

>You called out Zed in the blog post as well but I've not seen the Zed devs expressing regret of using Rust. Is this just an assumption on your part?

I'm kinda saying if I was a Zed dev I would have my pillow wet with tears at night. I know this because I participated in IDE development in C long time ago, and I was drowning in this whole low-level stuff all the time, I just could not do a single feature because I have to handle hundred of those other small things before the feature can work.

>As someone who's written many UI applications with egui and one with GPUI, I've felt some minor pain points but nothing show-stopping.

I have no idea what those applications were and how complex they were, so I cannot comment on it.
