For this to be accurate you need to change it to "why don't you rewrite it in rust"? Rust fans say this so often they made it an acronym (RIIR).

@carlwgeorge
Ah yeah
Rust is the new hype

I feel like this is more Rust programmers

[–] _hovi_ 2 points 2 years ago

I love rust but yeah definitely would fit the meme better

This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because "Python is just for scripting."

What a shame. Python is so awesome for so many cases.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I'm actually going to get the thing done.

@whelk
Indeed. It doesn't have to run fast if we are talking applications where performance isn't important.

Don’t hint the arch users and vegans

@hikarulsi
Arch is cool but updating it is like a Russian roulette 🫣

@hikarulsi
Haha 😅 well there is nothing like the AUR.

I have an Arch container image set up for this purpose but the fonts broke after upgrading it 🥺

Checkout distro boxes, it let's you install a little mini arch system and stream the apps as if they were native to whatever distro you want through x11. Super fast and simple to setup and means you can use aur on anything you want.

If you would like a compelling reason to switch to Python, please see here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

No, no. Python is for harassing the beginners, who can't switch from anything yet.

Rust is for switching to.

[–] DonJefe 3 points 2 years ago

You really should, bro. Just saying. I use arch btw...

[–] IUsedTo 3 points 2 years ago

Beginner developers when they realize that the programming language that you use changes from a case to case basic:

Even though I'm mostly a Python programmer now I don't do this but i know so many Python programmers who do this; the thing that is even more annoying is when some of them make up shit trying to prove python is better for a usecase they know NOTHING about

@[email protected] you should rewrite this meme but for rust

help: you may want to use a bool value instead
