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.
Can comfirm I played the game rust and became the greatest racist there ever was 🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

... I realized I'm trans shortly after starting to learn Rust. Are you telling me there's a casual link?
Maybe I'm not Rusting enough.
Correct.

This. This is how you get me to try your programming language.
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.
Rust has cute crab
Zig has scary lizard
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.
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
Never heard of zig before, thanks
Idk I just wrote a simple cli tool in 2 hours in Rust. Complete with arg validation, actually helpful --help output, and parallelisation.
I dunno man... having "no macros" as a selling point?
I am a simple man. I see Astolfo, I upvote.
It's like a shower for developers
I'm s simple
OK you got me.
