Why you shouldn’t use Rust
Welcome back! Rust is an awesome programming language, it can help build a lot of different projects, but this language isn’t perfect, so let’s talk about why you shouldn’t use Rust. Now, I did make the exact opposite of this article, I wrote about why I think Rust is the best programming language below:

Newer Language, Less Development
Rust was just created about 11 years ago (in 2010), that is a fairly new language compared to Python and Java, why is this a con? Well, when a language is as new as Rust, this could mean there isn’t really a massive amount of people using this language (compared to languages like Python, Java, etc.), why is this an issue? It’s not necessarily a problem, it just means that theres less development happening with this language, this means less packages, projects, and possibly less community compared to other languages.
