I don't know. Nowwadays, a language seems pretty meaningless without a decent library. I'm so used to the rich features of .NET that having to roll my own what I consider "low-level" classes to do basic things, well, it's a waste of time IMO.

True for high-level enterprise languages, like C#, Java, Ruby...
Rust, however is a low-level system language like C. You use Rust to create libraries, not consume them.

Here’s what enterprise watchers should expect to see in 2015. "Why you gotta be so undemanding, I want more"

The BBC has an investigative programme called Panorama. Last night, they followed the supply chain back from Apple - it was quite horrifying. Link[^]

Luckily it's only horrid Apple that work this way.. Thank goodness for Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, Lenovo...

The difference between Apple and those companies is that Apple cared enough to put codes of supplier conduct in place. The report started off with questioning why the companies that are supplying Apple are only paying lip service to the standards. It also questioned the company that is in charge of reporting on conditions back to Apple.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the only way anybody is going to care is if consumers make different choices. And if Apple is at least trying to mandate decent work conditions, I can only imagine how much worse the rest of the playing field is, and not just with phones, but with everything manufactured in China, Malaysia, etc. and not just tech.
It's a sad state of affairs and the gadgets that I enjoy definitely express in their price (as in, low cost) the manner in which human beings are exploited.
