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

Also anti-Rust crusaders:

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!).

great grandkids told be brainfuck is the future. are they right?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yep, agreed that the license change is an actual issue

not even c++

You dodged a bullet. I much prefer writing in C to C++.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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
