Time to learn new programming language, got to decide between Rust and Go.
What's your opinion /g/?
The fuck are those?
Go. Rust is still way too unstable.
>>42884962
Rust is the better language on a fundamental level.
Go has an awful type system compared to Rust, and it has less than ideal functional programming support.
>>42885102
If you want functional programming then use Haskell or kill yourself.
>>42885002
gear and some hamster
>>42885009
what if rust will be better after some time than Go and time spent on learning that language would be lost?
>durr vs hurr
One is a system language still not in it's 1.0
Another is a web backend language with a GC
That's like comparing fucking python to C
>>42884962
they're both for hipster tumblr faggots
>>42885226
>Go is a WEB backend language
holy shit kill yourself
Learn C instead
>>42885123
I should kill myself for wanting a good paradigm to be available in a very new language?
Rust, fuck google botnet
They're completely different languages with different goals and design philosophies.
Rust isn't stable yet.
>>42885304
>hurr people from google made its a botnet
When are you retards going to leave?
>>42885286
It's like going to McDonalds to eat organic food.
>>42885229
yeah, but I have some sense that Go will be the most used programming language someday
>thanks Googl botnet
>>42885258
I do it already :^)
>>42885326
what's main difference between their philosophies?
>>42885340
what, we hurt your shillings?
>>42885347
That's a horrible analogy given that Rust has very good FP support and is a very well designed language.
>>42885394
Go is meant to be simple to understand above all else. Rust is a modern C++ replacement focusing on safety with a not-insignifcant amount of cognitive overhead due to its mutability and ownership semantics. It also has a lot of things inherited from functional ML-family languages while Go is mostly modernized C and strongly procedural and religiously minimal.
>>42885474
>very good FP support
You can't even return closures because of the memory model.
>>42885493
tl:dr
Go= Mean & Lean
Rust = Mozilla bloat
>>42885394
Go solves no problems and doesn't build on any existing knowledge. There is nothing special about go. All you faggots telling people to learn Go need to go. OP just learn erlang at least then you can get an easy as fuck job working for a telecom.
>>42885528
>mandatory GC
>"Mean & Lean"
>>42885528
If by "Mean & Lean" you mean performant, Rust will eventually overtake Go as it has less dynamic runtime behavior. More language features != slower.
>>42885551
God you're such a leet hacker for manually allocating memory please let me suck your dick
Grow up, GCs are a godsend, the days of 512KB of memory two decades ago where you were forced to manually do memory are long gone.
Some GCs are even faster than manual memory control.
Any sufficiently complicated Go or Rust program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of C++.
>>42885619
GCs can't beat the hypothetical perfect programmer ( who doesn't exist ) but they can beat the average programmer ( 98% of /g/ ).

Swift
If you are set on picking and learning one right now, I would reduce the question to the following:
Do you want to learn something and start building production-ready software ASAP, even if you are likely to drop the language later?
Learn Go.
Do you want to play with something more exciting, less stable, and more powerful? Are you just experimenting for now and not desperate to ship a product, but want something you will probably want to use more in the future?
Learn Rust.
Rust is getting shilled a lot lately all over the internetz , how big is Mozilla's payroll?
>>42885698
This is accurate
>>42885718
People heard about it enough times to actually check what the language can do, and realised it's actually a really nice language.
>>42885735
Rust is just a badly made hotpot of Haskell, C++ and Erlang, it brings nothing that those languages already don't have.
Not to mention it's in a eternal alpha stage
Meanwhile Go is stable, performant and easy to use.
>>42885769
Java is better than Go. Literally in every way.
Where is your God now?
Why do Google shills feel threatened by Rust?
Go, only because the Gopher is fucking adorable.
Java
>>42885769
>it brings nothing that those languages already don't have.
That would be relevant if I could use all of those languages in the same source file. Oh, wait, I can. It's called Rust.
Learn both.
>>42885125
It's not going to be better than Go, and time spent learning a language is never lost.
>>42885830
>It's not going to be better than Go
But it is.
>>42885854
>bindings
U w0t m8?
WHY ARE YOU COMPARING THEM THEY'RE MEANT TO BE USED FOR DIFFERENT THINGS
>>42885573
The Rust compiler can't reason about channel operations like Go's can, because channel operations are functions in a standard module rather than being a language feature.
>>42885769
>it brings nothing that those languages already don't have.
But it won't allow the things that they do. You can shoot yourself in the foot easily with C++. Rust added a saftey over the trigger. You can still shoot yourself in the foot, but you'll have to take the saftey off first.
Also, it's structurally typed, so non of that 3000 layers of indirection bullshit you get with C++.
>>42885846
Then continue using Rust and enjoy doing so.
>>42885884
They're both general-purpose concurrent programming languages.
>>42885894
You do realize that they will fix optimization after it satbilizes, right? They don't have an official langauge spec. It would be damn stupid to worry about that pre 1.0
>>42885884
>both C like low-level languages
>both were created by big internet companies - Googl and Mozilla
they're like Python and Ruby, aren't they?
>>42885926
My point is that there are some optimizations that cannot be done because of what's put into a module and what's in the language itself.
>>42885949
And I'm saying that isn't static.
>>42885910
>Then continue using Rust and enjoy doing so.
But I use both.
>>42885949
Rust certainly doesn't have to be afraid of Go's performance.
>>42885894
>because channel operations are functions in a standard module rather than being a language feature.
Something being in the standard library rather than integrated into the language syntax doesn't stop them from optimizing it. See: Option types.
what about botnet Dart?
>>42885962
I doubt Rust is going to replace std::comm with <- or ! ? so late.
>>42885983
Incoming years-old debian.org benchmark.
>>42885949
Does Go even do any optimizations?
>>42886002
It doesn't need syntatic sugar to be optimized. I really don't know what you're going on about now.
>>42885910
Having concurrency support isn't novel and "general purpose" is a label (correctly) attached to nearly every well-known language.
>>42885686
You mean manual >auto?
>>42886019
Erlang is better than go and already in use in huge industries I really don't understand why people are jumping up Google's ass to learn Go.
>>42886019
>Having concurrency support isn't novel
It's not support, it's language constructs built around it. Rust's types and pointers, for instance, are built to make things like concurrency easy. You have to worry about a lot of things doing that in C++.
>>42886033
Because Go is easier.
>>42886014
Obviously they do; you can read the release notes for the past couple versions. Though I hear they actually make a point of holding back on some things in the interest of keeping compile speeds fast.
>>42886019
C isn't general purpose. It's a domain-specific language for creating buffer overflows.
>>42886030
How dumb it is to move the hand off the wheel to do something the car should be doing itself.
Gear shifting is unnecessarily complicated and a chore, auto transmissions in every car can't come soon enough.
>>42886014
-gcflags='-m' to see optimization annotations; most commonly it spews notes about inlining and escape analysis and common subexpression elimination, so yes.
>>42886019
Concurrency-oriented, though.
>>42886033
Google gains nothing from non-contributing users, mind you. Also, you're 'jumping up Ericsson's ass'.
Both Rust and Go still create XBOX hueg binaries.
>>42886062
Yeah but ericsson's ass is warm and full of jobs.
>>42886066
Nope.
>>42886066
A shame, but not particularly awful. And for Go binary sizes are not considered a high-priority problem.
>>42886077
Yes they do.
>>42886054
No offense intended, but you also use Windows or Mac OS X, don't you?
>>42886096
>Yes they do.
>>42886096
*And for Go binary sizes are NOW considered a high-priority problem.
>>42886109
Nothing wrong with either unless you're some jobless freetard
>>42886048
I was thinking of support in terms of libraries or runtime support; that can be added to any language. Although I guess now that you mention pointer ownership Rust has more meaningful built-in concurrency support than go does.
>>42886053
>It's a domain-specific language for creating buffer overflows.

>muh fuel efficiency
2nd or 3rd generation of auto transmissions already offer better fuel efficiency than manual.
Not to mention the latest ones.
>>42886141
It's larger if you link the stdlib statically.
>>42886141
It statically links to the runtime unless you tell it not to. gcc and the like dynamically links. Read the rustc arguments in his post.
tl;dr he's comparing apples to apples, instead of apples to oranges.
>>42886054
Automatics are STILL less fuel efficient.
Instead of a bunch of traction sensors to determine the proper gear ratio you can do it to feel.
You can choose your own torque range with manuals.
It's not stupid to have one, it's just not useful for those who do normal driving.
These new gearless automatics are cool though.
>>42886130
Engine breaking is coming back with regenerative breaking on hybrids and electrics.
>>42886156
No they haven't, they're also thousands of dollars more expensive.
You save money on your car and money on fuel with a manual.
>>42886214
Also no one in america can steal your car because they can't drive stick.
>>42884962
Obviously Go. Rust is still in the middle of development; what is true today is possibly wrong tomorrow already.
>>42886195
>It's not stupid to have one
Electric cars dont even need a gearbox because the torque is highest at rest. It's more efficient not to have one. Enjoy your antiquated shit.
>>42886150
That doesn't seem that hard to do, from the perspective of a sepplesfag: write a coroutine lib, use generics to implement typing, then add a threaded scheduler and then you're done
>>42886214

Rust targets homosexual C++ programmers.

>>42886234
I'd rather a manual in my 4WD, it's not a shittier experience, it's different and has use cases and advantages.
At the 13k to 20k mark having to spend another 2k does hurt.
>>42886223
So? They work on entirely different principles, CVT transmissions don't even have gears though so that's cool.
>>42886287

you can't compare strongly typed languages and those that are weakly typed, it doesn't make any sense. type inference and the like are a generalization of the halting problem.

If you're learning a new language just for the sake of learning a new language, why not go with something interesting? I've always wanted to learn Squeak Smalltalk; just haven't got around to it.
Better yet, read this book if you haven't. It's one of the better CS books I've read. Starts with Ruby (yawn) but then gives you an intro to Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and finally Haskell, explaining the rationale for each. Great book if you like languages.

It came from Bell Labs in it's prime, too.
>>42887408
I'll have to check that out. Looks cool.
I was drawn to Squeak because of the whole visual programming aspect. That hasn't been done very often. I'd rather learn a language that tries to do something unique and interesting than... yet another scripting language in the vein of Ruby/Python.
But yeah, check out that book people. I read that before taking comparative languages at my university and it made the class easier. Also it's just a fun read (all of the Pragmatic books are.) And the practice problems are actually interesting and challenging, unlike your usual programming text. You can really "get into" them.
The author assumes you already have some programming experience.
They're different languages with different use cases. Both of them are pretty good.
>>42887175
Apparently they didn't like type generals either. There is a lot missing from Go to make it as powerful as other general purpose languages. And it will not add them because it was never designed to be a general purpose language.

Because some of the devs are basically using Rust as a soapbox for SJW evangelism. Feel free to check the sticky on the rust reddit or read Graydon Hoare's, Steve Klabnik's or Tim Chevalier's blogs if you don't believe me.
Tim's is especially funny as he's one of the ones who basically spends his entire downtime inventing new and exciting ways to feel oppressed. It's a shame they kicked him off the team for being useless.

lua shits on python for similar reasons that go shits on rust

For a language that's only had a production release for about three years, go has plenty of third-party libraries.

If I want to build a web scraper I want to write the logic of the scraper not a fucking socket/http library
Go is a broken devolution of python. Rust is at least slightly innovative.
>>42890333
Being that it's designed for web servers, Go has a very well-written standard http library.
>>42890333
I/O is the ~only~ set of libraries that should come with a language, everything else is babby's training wheels

Just learn and use Go until Rust comes out. Then learn and enjoy both or pick your favorite.

You are missing the point. If I need something in my program I want to go import something and keep writing the important part of my program, not some shit that has already been written about 5 million times.
For example in C you don't have any container in the standard library, and reimplementing linked lists and vectors in every project is not the most practical thing to do (or effeicient or safe at all).

>not a fucking socket/http library
mommy mommy, I cant write html I/O, gimme a library
>>42890404
I'm not missing your point. I posted this as well: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/Projects
No, it's not on the same level as Java or sepples, but more likely than not you'll find anything you need. Go has plenty of libraries.

using black box libraries for linked lists, seriously calling a library to do a linked list, people wonder why programs have turned into colossal bloat, over use of libraries to implement a linked list

Go is a great innovative language, the only problem is that it's about 40 years too late.
Rust is interesting but unstable. It's usable though.
The only reason anyone uses Go is because google made it.

>codemonkeys who think data structures and algorithms are like tinkertoys that can all be connected together with sequential library calls
>>42885946
no
Go is like a compiled python, Rust is like C and haskell had babbies with modern memory-safety features.
>>42890685
What's innovative in Go?
>>42890713
It may sound surprising in C-land, but in decent languages it's possible to do it most of the time
>>42890734

>>42890734
It has a better type system than C.
>>42890734
Lean language with great tooling and built in concurrency support. Its easy to scale (in terms of codebase and performance).
>>42890741
I know its possible, its also stupid. Programming is algorithms that work on data structures. If you use libraries do handle all your algorithms and data structures for you, you are a literal code monkey, you are the cause of endless bloat and glacial algorithmic performance. You dont understand what you are doing, you are like a child who should be programming with Scratch and stacking graphical code blocks on the screen
>>42890846
What's the "innovative" part in that?

Java/C# have both copied C++ syntax and succeeded in making a safer programming platform than C++ to program on. But people want to replace Java and C# with a faster compiled language because using a VM language for application/systems programming does not work. The contenders to replace Java/C# are Go, Rust, D and Ada
Go is a joke with out OO
Rust is not a stable language
D is viable but not supported well enough
Ada is too difficult for mainstream use

Hopefully in 6 months to a year it will be (I'm optimistic). I hope it takes off.
>>42891054
IMO it needs more sugar.

They also need unboxed closures, type families and monads already.
>>42891125
They said they plan on adding more later. The languages is going to flex a lot with DST and the like hitting in the next few months. After it settles I see them adding more sugar.
Lifetime inference will help a lot.
>They also need unboxed closures
DST will allow just that. It's going to be sweet.
>>42890960
doesnt D have an LLVM compiler...
>>42891182
What does that have to do with GC?
>>42885009
>>42885125
Lean go until rust hits 1.0 or 1.1 - later this year iirc. You'll stil be able to use go if you want to, the time won't be wasted.
>>42891204
Well shit, i thought that post said GCC

He's saying you don't have to use GCC, there's LLVM too.
