Why the swipe at Linus? He's been supportive of rust in the Linux kernel.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

they don't swipe him at all. I don't know why his picture is there

because that makes people click

There's no shortage of reasons to not like Linus.

Did.. Did you just diss the All Mighty Father, Emperor of Linux on Lemmy?

Unacceptable! Go get the SIGKILL

kill -9 You gotta learn when it’s time for your thread to yield; you shoulda slept; instead you stepped and now your fate is sealed.

I did - it says he's supporting rust in the kernel.

I do know that Linus is on record with low opinion of C++. I have heard of him compare the cult-like following Rust has with the whole Vim/Emacs tribalism thing.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

I didn't understand this. He said the bickering between C and rust devs reminds him of the vim/emacs debate.

Heh.

I do think the worst thing going for Rust, right now, is the Rust community.

It feels like few specific jackasses from the Java community made the jump to Rust, and no one had the sense to slap them with a newspaper.

Can you be more specific? I’ve had nothing but great experiences from the rust community.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Can you be more specific?

Sure.

I've had discussions about my impression that Rust's build chain can be a bit surly compared to other popular languages.

I don't particularly mean it as a criticism - of course Rust's security enforcement comes with more warnings and errors.

But the novel part of the interactions, for me, was Rust community members coming at me with 'well get gud, newbie'.

These interactions are particularly ironic, given my experiences and specialties. I'm an old school veteran software developer. I have spent over half of my career in dedicated Cybersecurity roles.

These conversations converted me from a mildly interested Rust proponent into a casual Rust critic.

Well I’m sorry that you got shitty responses like that. Which platform(s) was this on?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Java sucked so much though (and still does).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I love programming in Java. It continues to be my language of choice.

Lets have a flame war like back in the day!
