Generally I don't do this (go ahead, have yourself a google). But the error was so blatant that I just couldn't not say anything about it. In a sense the article baited me into it.…

Well in all fairness, I might've kept reading had it not been for that blatant factual error.

I'm not doing that at all. I'm merely saying it isn't worth the time.

Ignorance and having time are 2 orthogonal things. Your argument is not even close to valid. And I haven't even mentioned the ad hominem, which is an automatic disqualifier for any…

Like someone said above, who has time to wade through all the verbal feces before deciding that an article is worth the time? In this day and age, you need to decide quickly, or yo…

Or the author should/could improve their writing style. Just a thought. One concrete improvement would be not to moan about things that aren't even true (anymore).

Pretty much every touted feature is WIP, definitely all the important ones. So yeah no that's vaporware.

Who even has the time to bash that heap of vaporware?

The problem with this article is that the first example is wrong, as in it compiles fine. I could even tell without running it that it would compile. Therefore the article as a who…

> I personally am not a fan of too many abstractions. Then you're likely in the wrong business, since most of what programming is is dealing with the various facets of one abstract…

> The cost of this borrow checker is huge: every reference in every program needs to be annotation with whether it's shared or mutable No. You need to "annotate" a mutable binding …

You could just serve a webpage that queries your desktop, and visit that with the browser on your phone. Slightly more work, but definitely viable. You can even make a shortcut on …

These rap songs are both funny and ring true. Please make more, and a video would be cool too :)

They're failing, and hilariously so. The Gmail GUI is awful, it's slow (especially on non-chrome browsers), you're still being tracked (nothing new but still worth mentioning) and …

This is not as much as a problem as you believe. Rust is perfectly capable of making objects that have a C API and ABI precisely for this reason, and the most popular distros only …

This. Basically the net effects are a mix of: 1. Push more computation to compile time rather than runtime 2. Verify a lot more state at compile time, preventing dangerous or nonse…

It seems you are missing the point of Rusts safety. Yes that safety does prevent things like segfaults, but the real value is in security. As software becomes evermore critical to …

While your use cases are definitely valid for you, this is not a Rust issue, but something that's 100% decided by your distro. They decide if, when and how they integrate Rust into…

That's not really all that relevant for most existing commercial code since legacy code tends to not get rewritten at all unless it's absolutely necessary, and thus remains stuck w…

Spoken like someone with plenty of money in the bank, which is of course a luxurious position to find yourself in. And in those circumstances I agree with you. But the above doesn'…

I have always defined spam as "unwanted and undesirable incoming communication, typically for financial reasons". So that includes mass emailing, but is far from restricted to it. …

Ah so that's what was going on. The issue insofar I could perceive it is fixed now though. All googly sites are up again.

Where in the Netherlands would be a good idea to check out?
