Rust indeed has good features I enjoy having them. But the joy I can have in Lisp, I cannot have in other traditional(or ordinary?) languages. I've developed an ML backend with Rust over 3 years to learn that for algorithm research and testing, Lisp ecosystem is much better than Rust. But I haven't done the research yet to see if there is a Lisp other than CL which is performant enough. Because CL is quite obscure and has self contradicting features, thus not mature.
@farooqkz @cm0002 From where I'm standing it looks like you are your own worst enemy. You can do your research in any language, or you can research languages.
Of course I can do me research in any language. But what will be the ratio of the effort put on the algorithm itself and its testing? vs the time you have to implement and change the algorithm in that language?
