It's just moving the goalposts. "If it compiles it works" to "it eliminates all memory bugs" to "well, it's safer than c...". If Rust doesn't live up to its lofty promises, then it…

I think it's pretty telling that there are people in this thread trying to pre-empt the expected criticism in this thread. Might be worth thinking why there might be criticism, and…

> All bugs is typically a strawman typically only used by detractors. The correct claim is: safe Rust eliminates certain classes of bugs. I'd wager the design of std eliminates mor…

> Anybody who thought the simple action of rewriting things in Rust would eliminate all bugs was hopelessly naive. Classic Motte and Bailey. Rust is often said "if it compiles it r…

If rust is so inflexible that it requires the use of unsafe to solve problems, that's still rust's fault. You have to consider both safe rust behaviour as well as necessary unsafe …

> Since this isn't the 1800s anymore there won't be any major revolutions I'm sure they were saying the same thing in the 1800s

The best part about your account is the people who don't understand the satire and unironically agree with you :D

> Carney is the most popular politician Canada has had in decades That's just blatantly untrue?

A lot of people are criticizing this for unnecessary complexity, but it's a little more complicated than that. I actually think it makes sense given where they are at right now. Th…

200 years ago that was true, now it's easier than ever to run a business with zero land.

Design is subjective of course. I love their new website and much prefer it to the old one.

Unlike Linux, that wasn't built in as a feature!

You're right. That's why I never took the Covid vaccine and I convinced everyone I know to avoid it as well. You cannot trust big pharma after all the evil things they've done.

This is a gross misunderstanding of what the corporate veil is.

As someone who's owned an f250, I never once had to look up arcane commands to type in a terminal to get it started.

Odd, it's not a problem in dynamically typed languages or languages like Kotlin, Swift, etc. I think it's more just what you're used to.

Writing isn't about the produced artifact, it's about the process of taking abstract thought patterns and translating them into written text. In the same way that art isn't about c…

I don't think people should be obligated to spend time and effort justifying their reasoning on this. Firstly it's highly asymmetrical; you can generate AI content with little effo…

The point is that they get to rewrite it in their favourite language.

And when people point out they're both team sports you freak out, you can't compare them at all, totally different yadda yadda yadda. You're just so zoomed in that the differences …

Yeah you guys clearly have it all figured out there eh.

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt for sure because I can see it's style rubbing off. Someone linked this article you wrote from 7 years ago. https://www.sanity.io/bl…

Comparing the two articles, they have a completely different style. I wasn't totally convinced the linked article was AI generated but I am now. Clearly the author can write, so I'…

It's like a reflection of Nvidia, Oracle and, OpenAI selling each other products and just trading the same money back and forth. Which is of course a reflection of the classic econ…
