My skill prevents bugs, unlike your fancy compiler, peasant.

Lol build something with serde and you'll be hooked for life
Or a CLI with
clap. -
"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?
Everyone makes mistakes, no matter the level of skill

We had the Java guys in year 2000, at least Rust seems to be a decent language.

The really annoying part is all the people saying that you shouldn't like Rust because actually it's not magically bug free. Yeah, no shit. No one who touched Rust claims it lets you write bug free code. People like Rust because it's modern, fast, has great tooling, great documentation and really nice features like Traits and Algebraic data types. Memory and thread safety is just a bonus.

I love this argument because it means this dude is the only skilled C developer on the planet. Chromium devs are just chumps that should be replaced by this uncommon God.
If we measure only by the amount of mistakes, there would be much more skilled C developers. Take my pristine skills for example, I've made zero mistakes writing all of my 3 lines of C code over years and years, zero mistakes

10 months, 2 weeks, 6 days and 12 hours since I was saved and accepted the one true language (not)
My condolences on not being saved and accepted, I hope the future still holds good things for you

The problem with these followers of rust is that they're heathens, disbelievers and worshippers of the devil. Just like all of you heretics. There is just one programming language for the true believer and it is FORTRAN. The pure and true FORTRAN, that is, which is punched into cards of virgin paper, not the heresy created by the blasphemy of 99.
I'm just trying to imagine installing something like modern Microsoft Office from punch cards.
Getting the heavy bankers box from the closet. Spending a few hours feeding cards into the reader.
Going on a profanity laced tirade because some idiot put them away out of order. It wasprobablydefinitely me. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Skill issue takes are dumb as fuck. It's just republican personal responsibility takes using different language.
Intelligent people focus on producing systemically better outcomes.

It’s like going to city hall and complaining your tax dollars are being spent on guardrails along the road that you haven’t personally ever driven into.
Which, for the record, people fully actually do.

Do you have time to talk about our lord Rust? Did you know it died for our bugs so we don't have to debug them at run time?

I mean... they do kinda have a point on the last part. I'm no programmer or coder. I can't code for shit. I don't know a lot about development. And even I have the feeling that Rust people, they're kinda like NixOS people a while back, they never shut the fuck up about it. :3
They're definitely enthusiastic, I'll give them that. But so many projects are sold solely on the fact that they are made with Rust, even though it means absolutely nothing to most users.
I remember when System76 announced that they were making a new desktop environment and the only thing they basically said about it back then was that it was made with Rust and it felt like my corner of the internet lost their mind about it like they had announced the second coming of Christ or something.

Yep - I don't really know who these evangelists are either. I have read about "fearless concurrency," which seems pretty spot-on.

If you're that much of a galaxybrain, you should be writing everything directly in opcodes. In reality, nobody is, and we invented languages to help us perform an activity the human brain is very poorly suited to.
This attitude also means that OP stares at their own obvious bugs on a screen all day and then decides they're great, which is level of detachment from reality frightening to me.

We're talking about memory safety here, though.

Same argument though, just a different value for the topic.
