Can confirm, that after learning rust, my friend automatically converted to femboy with an owner. (Saw their Twitter bio)

One of my friends came out as trans shortly after telling me they enjoyed Rust.
... I realized I'm trans shortly after starting to learn Rust. Are you telling me there's a casual link?
Can comfirm I played the game rust and became the greatest racist there ever was 🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎
Are you saying dessalines is a hot femboy?
Let's ask him @dessalines@lemmy.ml
Maybe I'm not Rusting enough.
Correct.

It's like a shower for developers

I am a simple man. I see Astolfo, I upvote.
Rust: it will take 10 months to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.
Zig: it will take 10 days to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.
You get to pick one cult. Which one is it?
Rust: works
Zig: segmentation fault
Also no higher-order functions like map, filter, reduce etc.
Really weird design decision for a brand new language.
Comptime is pretty dope tho, I wish Rust had that instead of relying on macros so much.
So how is Zig different from C or C++, then?
Much nicer than C, much simpler than C++, much less cruft than both.
I'd like to point out, the value add of Rust isn't speed, it's safety in a low-level language. C is also just as fast, it's just that Rust guarantees safety in a wide class of potential catastrophic bugs with little to no runtime overhead, by using the design of the language and compiler.
That's very true. My main issue though is the steep learning curve
Rust has cute crab
Zig has scary lizard
I dunno man... having "no macros" as a selling point?
Never heard of zig before, thanks
Zig isn't even v1 and without any API stability guarantees.
It finished even faster when it crashes right?
Development paradigms spearheaded by MySQL and PHP, where it was discovered that you can be really fast if you don't care about getting the right answer.
Idk I just wrote a simple cli tool in 2 hours in Rust. Complete with arg validation, actually helpful --help output, and parallelisation.
I wanted to try zig a couple of times now but was always put off by lacking tooling and generally bad compiler errors. Its kinda hard to justify spending time on something if you see the compiler point out an error inside a standart lib zig file and there is no directon for a fix whatsoever. Im hoping it'll get better because the language seems really great
OK you got me.
