Rust is designed to be the language of the century. That's why it's named Rust.
This year's hot new language of the century.

For those not aware, Walter is the creator of D. I feel like this almost constitutes shitting on someone's Show HN post.
It definitely isn't, but if you feel like going for the most uncharitable reading possible be my guest. I respect Walter a lot more than you probably realize.

I studied a degree called "Software Engineering", that was 4 years with first class honors. It is accredited by, and I'm a member of the Australian Institute of Engineers.
The only way for me to get accredited in Canada it 2 years of relevant work experience with an accredited Engineer in my field.
There are no Software Engineers in Canada.

Search “apple engineer camrose alberta linkedin” on Google [1] You will find a handful of people who either relocated during the last year or were hired there. This includes people like Jeff Davey, Steven Bromling, Tony Gong, Derek Hausauer and Lucas Wagner who are brilliant. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+engineer+camrose+alber...
That is nice. I think many inside Canada wouldn't mind relocating for a role like this, but I doubt someone would be willing to trade California's winter for Alberta's, regardless of the job.
I was just down around the LA area, and I'll gladly take -40 winters for the rest of my life than deal with that traffic and air pollution.

What's the definition for engineer? Anything that isn't software; ie electrical, mechanical, nuclear? Or does it just mean you passed the FE exam?

Need a degree from an accredited school in engineering + pass the engineering licensing requirements. In Ontario, where I live, that means passing an ethics exam + some years of work that is overseen by someone with a P.Eng. The challenge in software is usually the last part.

My last job in Canada the other Engineers got uppity about that with me. I studied a degree called "Software Engineering", that was 4 years with first class honors. It is accredited by, and I'm a member of the Australian Institute of Engineers. The only way for me to get accredited in Canada it 2 years of relevant work experience with an accredited Engineer in my field. There are no Software Engineers in Canada.
This is absolutely false. For example, please review the "Software Engineering Experience Review Guideline" for Saskatchewan [0]. This was approved back in 2014.

#70Why wouldn't they use Swift? Seems odd.
