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
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
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
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.
Idk I just wrote a simple cli tool in 2 hours in Rust. Complete with arg validation, actually helpful --help output, and parallelisation.
Never heard of zig before, thanks
I dunno man... having "no macros" as a selling point?
I wanted to try zig a couple of times now but was always put off by lacking tooling and generally bad compiler errors. Its kinda hard to justify spending time on something if you see the compiler point out an error inside a standart lib zig file and there is no directon for a fix whatsoever. Im hoping it'll get better because the language seems really great
I am a simple man. I see Astolfo, I upvote.
I'm s simple
🤣🤣🤣
