As pvg won't permit a reply to his/her/its post, I'll reply to myself: > The guideline is there because of the repetitive twitter complaints, I'm not making this > up as a fun mess…

I wouldn't let descriptions[1] of Rust as difficult to learn put you off. I'm long out of date with it so can't make confident comparisons with the Java of 2022 (2023!), but you mi…

Arguable, but I don't think it's a slam dunk that replacing the multimillenial standard interface for connected text (ie. text!) with an entirely novel chain of multiple artificial…

It is a bit boring to see repetitive complaints. I suspect they just won't go away until it's made obvious from the link whether or not its worth clicking on (for those of us who w…

Yes I always abandon these when I see they don't just contain a link to a blog post. You might have thought someone waxing about the merits of the web would have heard of hyperlink…

> I suspect the cause is a whole bunch of people saying that Rust is too hard, Perhaps, though I haven't myself witnessed anyone saying it's 'too hard'. Just that people (like me a…

> You'll find that many in the rust community are in fact very very sympathetic to your view that it's too hard to learn. I have not found that. The very comment I'm responding to …

But I've never heard a C++ programmer deny that it's a large and difficult language. I personally never really had a problem with ownership model - probably because what I was doin…

> > Rust is harder than any other mainstream language to do that in. > I’d argue C and C++ are both harder. It’s hard to even get these to build once you move past trivia examples …

> It's not hard, Yep, that's the standard Rust aficionado flat insistence: "You're finding it hard. You're just wrong". Yet with more learning time than I've put into any other lan…

> Easy is relative In the case of programming languages, yes, it's relative to the difficulty of other PLs. I've learned many over the years, and found Rust by far the hardest (it'…

But it's so easy to get a handle on how the borrow checker works! Just check out this thread and all will become clear: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/what-is-a-good-mental-model-of…

Depends on what country you're in. It's illegal here in Australia, but almost universally practised regardless. The law is not in reality available to most people, nor is it by and…

My "Asia" comment wasn't really a response to you - it's been a part of internal Australian debate since the 1980's. Keating crowned the 21st the "Asian Century", and claimed Austr…

Saying , no, but feeling, yes. Keating's "Asian Century" version of Australia never took strong cultural hold. Our nearest neighbours PNG & East Timor are ignored except by our NGO…

Clearly a matter of taste then. I much prefer the extremes, and find mild weather boring. Maybe it's having grown up in England. Much happier where I live now and I'm at frequent r…

You'd think so, but from his own account he's not. Pre Asahi he used Fedora because it was easy to get working and he found Debian too hard to install. Could just be dry Finnish hu…

Yes, seems fair enough to me. Most people (quite reasonably) just aren't going to get the nuances differentiating cloud-based pw managers. One blog post isn't going to change that …
