The rust compiler holds your hand, wraps you in blankets, makes you hot chocolate, kisses you on the forehead before it gently and politely points out what you did wrong and how you can solve it step-by-step. It would never think of something as heinous as swearing at you, shame on you for insulting my wife's honour like this.

Rust compiler is passive agressive, like:

"There's an error at line 286 because you still don't know how to use the borrow checker after all this time ♥️"

its a compiler. That is at best projection, especially considering how the compiler's error feedback is designed to be firm yet gentle.

I need a rust compiler in my life 😍

Damn right. And once it compiles… it works.

The rust compiler produces a flawless understanding of your code, and then quits out because understanding that code is a Nightly-only feature and you're using the stable build.

except when it gives errors about lifetimes of some object.

boy, that makes my brain hurt

I don’t know from where this legend comes from but lifetimes/concurrency/macros errors are brain-hurting.

Most of the time I find myself dropping project because I wrote my program in a correct way but Rust just does not like how it is designed lol. I can’t get shit done with this language
