Rust is the first language that has emerged in the past few years that solves enough of my problems that it would be worth not only learning & teaching an entirely new language, but also sacrificing the maturity of the language ecosystems I’ve become accustomed to.

I highly suggest you read the "Guide" provided by the language developers or this won't make much sense. These are just some of my thoughts and are intended to highlight particular things that stand out to me. I am just a practitioner and not an expert in any of these languages, so I have probably made some incorrect assumptions and out-of-date assertions. Bare with me.

Rust feels like the first time momentum has gained behind a true systems programming language that uses modern PL design techniques to prevent common errors when dealing with memory. It seems like others have previously either been too anemic to be worth adopting or too abstract to provide proper control. The type system and assignment semantics are designed specifically to preven

Today I had a brief debate on twitter about AMD vs CommonJS, https://twitter.com/TechWraith/status/441387541778808832. It's a debate worth having for sure. But I had to bail out of this one. The thing that annoyed me is that the first argument that people bring up to disquality AMD is "the syntax is too complex". I disagree with this. There are lots of reasons to prefer CommonJS over AMD, but the module authoring syntax is not a very good one. There was also a related statement that AMD authoring introduces more "cognitive overhead". This is absolutely true. But I don't consider this to be synonymous with "complexity" by any means.

So I thought I'd explore some comparable examples. Here's a simple one that was offered up by someone else in the thread. This was on twitter so I can forgive erring on the side of brevity.

define('myThing', ['some', 'deps'], function (some, deps) {
  //my code
  
 return myThing;

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".
