I'm as much a member of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force as everyone else here on HN, but "(written in Rust)" ain't in the article title.


Probably because Smith (1 of the 3 tools) is written in Go and because Oracle wouldn't use Rust just for the sake of using Rust but because it was suited to the task at hand.

edit: you might be interested in their article on "Building a Container Runtime in Rust" [1]

With that we have now Microsoft and Oracle adopting Rust based tools.

Even if Rust fails to gain wide adoption, their ideas already tainted (in a very positive way) future work on the design of Swift, Pony, D and C++ lifetime static analyzers.

Also on Go side, Microsoft being a Docker contributor regarding its support on Azure and VS Code tooling.

Which I find very positive for both communities as a language geek.


It's hackernews clickbait for sure :p
