so fucking say that. Designed to be fastest editor. Show benchmarks. Talk about your features. I still don’t care what tools you used to achieve it. It being written in rust does not automatically make things fast. It may even slow things down, in some cases.
I don’t care how easy it is for the developer. And modern c++ is slightly harder than rust, but not all that difficult to get right with smart pointers and iterators etc.
So they should say that it is written with performance in mind. I don’t care how you achieved that. rust, c++, assembly, whatever.
Mention that it has very good collaborative editing.
Mention features.
VS Code is written with performance in mind. Compared with other electron apps, it’s very performant.
Compared with even a sloppily written native app though, it’s not great.

I think you might care about this a touch too much
I care because performant and secure C++ is much harder to achieve while rust “shepherds” you towards it.

If you care about your software being stable and secure, you should care about how easy the programming language used makes and encourages that.
People aren’t robots and make mistakes often.
Everone claims their software is fast. When stating that it is written in a native language it is actually believable.
