Is Rust Intended to Compete with .NET and Java?
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-10-01 👤 surdeus 👁️ 9Some may say that .NET/Java are for application-level programs, and Rust is a systems level language. However, I like the idea of Rust as a general cross-platform solution for both systems, web, and applications, so I am interested if whether this is a valid approach to the use of Rust.
I also think that Linux adds nuance to this question because I think that Linux package developers are more likely to choose Rust over .NET than Windows developers are.
Any thoughts on systems vs. app as well as cross-platform appreciated.
