Terrible meme. Go is bad and you should feel bad
Go is like that abusive partner that gives you flowers and the next day makes you feel like shit. Then another day you go to an expensive restaurant and you tell yourself that maybe it's not so bad and they still care. And the cycle continues.
Rust is an autistic partner that sometimes struggles with telling you how much they care, is often overly pedantic about technical correctness and easily gets sidetracked by details, but with some genuine effort from both sides it's very much a workable relationship.
Yeah but Go has the best error handling paradigm of any programming language ever created:
Don't you just love doing that every 5 lines of code?
It's not pretty, but it's uniform, obvious, and easy to understand.
go is good grug friend who chase away complexity demon by limit damage of big brain developer
Honestly, I do
I don't like the rust way either. But at least you can unwrap
With some sprinkle of libraries such as
anyhowandthiserrorthe Rust errors become actually pleasant to use. The vanilla way is indeed painful when you start handling more than one type of error at a time.Exactly this. Anyhow makes error handling in rust actually a joy. It's only something you need to consider if you're writing a library for others to use, and in that case, it's good that rust forces you to be very very explicit
I actually reasonably like Go. It's simple and pragmatic but I fucking loathe its error handling. To me it just replicates one of the worst features of C
I think I'd rather code in Go than Rust. But I'm not a great Rust programmer so my opinion may not count. I can code effectively in C, C++, Go, Java, C#, Python, and a few others, but Rust is the only language that I find hard to use. I'm probably just dumb
You're not dumb. Rust is a hard language to pick. Some people probably think I'm mocking it because I made this meme but I'm really not - I love Rust. I'm mocking us mere humans trying to cope with greatness 🤣And I'm looking forward to the time when I finally "graduate" and become more productive and experienced with Rust.
Are you using an IDE like rustrover? Rust is by far the easiest language I've worked with. It makes it so the only way to write code is the right way
Yes, I was using Rustrover the last time I used Rust. VSCode previously. I've tried to get into Rust a few times and really just failed repeatedly. Ill probably try again at some point but my experience thus far hasn't been great
