RUST is a stupid waste of time and soon everyone will realize about it and revert to C/C++

Why do I do it to myself?
Why do I keep coming back here?
Retarded take after retarded take on every single topic. Even the brownest subhumans from /pol/ are not as dumb as average /g/tard.
It's really the worst board on 4chan.

People program in Rust for the following reasons:
-to make a political statement
-to show off how clever they are
-to push functional programming down into the systems level because they're that autistic
-to make normies and older programmers angry
-they hate old things (new == good)
-they're unhireable so might as well code in a language nobody is hiring for anyway
"memory safety" is just an excuse. there's easier ways to achieve that than learning a whole new language (which is big and complex) and rewriting existing projects in a different language.

They literally don't work. They never will. Rust enforces it's rules at compile time without cope rules. You're wasting time thinking some multi million dollar C++ static analyzer works. I've literally seen people completely ignore both valid and totally stupid static analyzer outputs. It's just not worth it.

Are programming languages that hard to learn if you already know a few? They mostly cover the same few concepts in different window dressing rather than invent anything new that you need to start from scratch

I program in rust because when it's that time, between
>write a meson project
>pull all dependencies which have different names depending on the distro
or
>cargo new project
>cargo add tokio …
latter is easier

>>108053491
Rust is a great language until you want to step outside of what the language considers safe then it becomes the worst pile of shit ever made. Building a (performant) garbage collector in it is a special kind of cock and ball torture. Great type system though and that's why most people probably like it, they would probably enjoy ml langs much more if they gave them a try.

i only vibecode in ada interfacing with C and C++.So far it works really well.I'm not a programmer so i don't know technical details about all of that but seems an alternative if you the project on the long-term is to rewrite everything.Didn't see performance difference that different but it's vibecoded so i guess you could improve on that since the language is mainly aimed at people doing low level and embedded systems.They have a whole book for c,c++ and java programmers so it shows they want to get part of the big diaspora considering apparently a lot of veteran are tired of C++.
idk what's up with all the dod too.Just playing with it with gemini. Basically you can use any C programm and "copy-paste" it and wrap it an ada program around it.For C++ i imagine for all things ,it can be pretty useful.You can shittalk me for being a retarded nocoder.my post is half implicit questions.

Yeah basically this, it's very good for huge high-level programs but when you try to do anything slightly low level the autistic compilers starts screeching
>Yes to convert this array of bytes from my file into an struct
Turns out you need to add unsafe everywhere or import 30 crates that actually compile to nothing just to calm the compiler because those 30 bytes could be a pointer to a malloc'd structure in another thread or whatever, nigga it's a fucking file, let me cast it and keep on with my life. If we actually used rust for our embedded OS at work it would likely duplicate in size, add hundreds of dependencies and offer no additional safety as we don't use dynamic memory

Sorry buddy. Rust is legit. Most new fags hate Rust because it calls them out on their shit.
They will eventually concede and start loving. Learning rust has genuine made me a better programmer in other langs

I don't know who the retard defending my post is but he is not me and I don't want to be associated with his shitty arguments, regarding your responses I might be filtered by rust, there is probably a better way to do the casting I used as an example, it isn't even a real thing I encountered. I haven't have the time to explore rust in such depth to know "the right way tm" to do it, but that is kind of my argument, it is really hard to do low level stuff, and the million of crates attempting to solve the issue is proof of that. And yes I do really work in embedded and I'm not indian.

>>108056210
Rust is a great language because it skill checks you and forces you to prove what you "claim to be safe" actually is. You sound like a massive retard and *should* be filtered from programming as a whole because you can't write correct unsafe or safe rust code.

Okay, serious question, if rust is so much better then why is literally every single application of rust worse than its C counterpart? The rust core utils they implemented in Ubuntu are dogshit, they offer no upsides compared to the gnu utils they replaced. They’re slower, more unstable, and break compatibility with legacy programs. I’m starting to think the only reason rust is getting pushed so hard is because it uses the MIT license. I have yet to see a single instance of rust that isn’t poorly written slop or just straight up vibe coded garbage.

rg is superior to grep
fd is superior to find
fish is superior to bash
uutils works out of the box on Windows without MinGW and Cygwin AIDS.
tokio is literally superior to anything C has as evidence by the fact every C project to to write their own event loop / executor.
Why are you posting fake news garbage?
>>
>>108059993
>fake news
It’s called real world usage, 25.10 was a disaster release specifically because the rust utils fucked up so many things, they were also something like 20 times slower than the gnu versions. You can sit here and argue about potential but until I see a rust coded platform that’s actually superior I’m just gonna have to doubt the whole thing. I know cosmic desktop is written in rust, which may explain why it’s so fucking terrible.

The problem with Rust isn't actually a problem with the language but with what people try to use the language for. Once you cut through the hype and really understand what Rust is about, its value becomes apparent. The biggest mistake people make is trying to use it for low-level programming. Rust actually gets better the further you move from the metal and towards abstractions and managing abstractions.
