So, I'm sort of staying in a theme with my recent submissions, on the usability of Rust (because I truly believe this message is worth amplifying to the whole wide world);
on the risk of deepening that groove into a rut:
Honestly, that's my experience of Rust in a nutshell. This language
makes so many of the things that used to only be the realm of
experienced C++ programmers accessible to the rest of us - I find that
really exciting!
Joe Clay / SeventeenCupsOfCoffee, in his tutorial "Writing an Audio Plugin in Rust"
(discussion topic here on these forums)
The tutorial illustrates how Rust (together with the vst2 crate) brings a whole new category of artistic expression (making your own audio effects) into the reach of "average" musicians.
There's enough musicians who "dabble" a bit in programming, maybe building their own websites with javascript etc. Most however would shy away from the "real" programming currently needed to make an audio-plugin in C/C++, because that's just too many cans of worms.
