    Coming from a more science/engineering background than a cs/programming one and having tried both, I wholeheartedly disagree. Or at least it’s a higher floor and lower ceiling situation.

    And from an engineering industry standpoint the transition cost (or at least compatibility) from generated C, and the lack of a simulink-like block implementation/visualization and code generation pipeline still make it a hard sell. The block thing isn’t just for comfort in those circles, it’s to do with industry standards for system definitions and representation.

    Don’t get me wrong I wish Rust changed that game: I hate MATLAB with a passion; I’m just pessimistic.
