    Anti-Rust crusaders: “C is easy actually and Rust is pointlessly annoying and hard to learn”

      ancient amateur C coder here (not even c++). picked up python about 5 years ago (cuz why not?). been playing around with rust for a bit (like it so far). only issue is recoded tools getting released under mit license instead of gpl (cuz, get off my lawn!).

          yeah. I took one look at c++ and gagged at what had been done to my beautifully tight, simple language. it just felt like such a bolt-on.

          python fit neatly into a void. then came rust. that got me interested again.

      Disclaimer: the damn screenshot just won’t load for me, so this is just a personal rant

      Rust crusaders: it forces you to write good and safe code! This is superior to other languages!

      Me: fucking fuck off, will ya. I need to become competent enough to write good and safe code (meaning think about problems before they happen), not some fucking kindergarten. Rust may be a good language, but the above argument sucks so very much

        The screenshot is a conspiracy-laden ramble about how Rust is being introduced to lower the pay of systems-level SWEs by allowing companies to hire younger people, for the record.

          Thank you, kind soul.

          He. As if language is something that a dev doing systems-level architecture can’t pick up as the need arises. I did have a good laugh
