Rust was a mistake
t. Everyone
>>53625381
why, whats wrong with it? genuinely curious.
>>53625381
Turns out a high-level language without GC is retarded.
>>53625381
As long as it has sane pattern matching, sane optional unicode support and no header files it's still better than C++ to be henpai, desu.
You could argue that the lifetime checker is hard to implement for alternative implementations, but there is even an otherwise simple scripting language called Dyon having this feature, so I think that's wrong.
>>53625381
What's even the point friend?
>>53625381
rust was DOA.
>>53625978
Having a non-GPLd compiler that is gratis, free and based on the LLVM, for a start.
I wish Ada had that.
Or a community that can actually help you because it exists at all is nice, too.
>>53625999
It is not free if it is not GPL.
>>53625381
it's a mess dude
they even thought they could compile time statically check for array out of bounds
>>53626060
Bounds checking*
>>53626060
Tracking and passing the size with an array has worked fine for C for over two decades.
Rust devs are dumb and cluelessly overcomplicating everything.
>>53626075
runtime checking isn't fine
>>53625999
Why do you hate freedom?
>>53625978
Reinventing the 30 year old wheel?
>>53626047
Wrong.

Anything in IT that puts identity politics ahead of technology is doomed to suck.
I agree, the game got kinda shitty after the new version and the original version became "Rust Legacy"
>>53625381
Who would have expected this would happen with a Mozilla vanity project
>>53626079
Because freedom is an illusion.
Freedom by the GPL is even a much bigger illusion.
Freedom by law is one of the biggest illusions to exist.
Also >>53626923
Also, what you define as freedom is probably cringeworthy spergdom.
>>53629055
If you mean pre 1.0, everyone was told so in advance, so they had it coming.
>>53628753
Seems that is the only good reason in this thread.
Also, I don't like how cargo relies directly on git repositories.
>>53629670
Be careful around all that edge senpai
>>53630134
The truth is bismuth.
Elaborate a little.
Feature creep isn't that disgusting unless they look like the tacked on horrible mess that C++ has
>>53630291
This, the only things that make the C++ features bad are their defaults and the fact that they contradict each other.
