  • Then re-hired for 3x salary to make it work again, I hope. Or just watch the company/project fail spectacularly

  • I am not the person who said “C++ has rotted their brain”

    Right. So what do you want with me?

    Is your brain infallible?

    No, but human brain is the only thing that can define bug

    As long as “something” works to prevent bugs, to any extent, it will result in fewer bugs.

    Any programming language does

  • Wrong reasoning, friend:

    Maybe C++ has rotted their brain to the point they can’t “get” the borrow checker.

    Yeah, sure. Borrow checker fixes all. This is exactly the idiot attitude I am addressing.

    And if I want a bug-free code, I will use same tool as ever: my brain

  • True. How dares anyone touch holy graal of C :)

  • no, I think people who write comments along the lines of "C bad, Rust good, why use C" are idiots. And if that makes me sound stupid - oh, well. Like I ever cared

  • Always has been. For those making fun of OP because "can't get it done with only peaceful means": helping someone can mean "go and beat those fuckers down up whatever"

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. Foolish people are tiring, no matter the side

  • Nah, it's just that a whole lot of people, me included, are tired of foolish "but Rust is safe!!!1" propaganda-like shallow screams, like kids getting a new toy. I am ok when watching Linux distro battles, because that's by definition child's play and individual experience varies wildly among participants, but regarding programming languages I would rather see a long boring description of what is tackled how and why this is better than the "bad and buggy" alternative than this cheap shouting.

    P.S. the critics does not go to you personally, yours is a good post, I thank you for it

  • Seems a great many of you need this.

    Jump

  • This... makes sense. Thank you

  • Things are much simpler:

    1. Want a bug free code - do bug free code. Spend time carefully evaluating every line and interaction
    2. Want third-party code and safety - examine that code in the same way
    3. Whatever you do, assume there is a bug in any software you use, so plan and organize accordingly
    4. No amount of magic pills can substitute the above. So yeah, it is a skill issue. Also an issue of kids wining that there are bugs and they don't feel safe, so they want to cling to magic pills instead of dealing with the reality

  • And while you bring up a "boo-hoo, software written in C has bugs" common knowledge, to my best knowledge standard Rust library still has unsafe parts. But that's no problem, because contracts, sure. Thanks for demonstrating how full of nonsense you are, bye

    Jump

  • More like Rust has rotted someone's brain. "Hey, I can't code safely, so I will use this new toy that is supposed to make me". This line of thought is OK as long as it does not get imposed on anything I do as a programmer

  • Do you agree?

  • Someone woke up? Good thing and welcome

  • Ooh, so "get out with this Rust, I ain't gonna think about when writing my code" is protecting a baby now?

  • Magical pills do not exist. Better start pushing old fuckers incapable of learning out of the project (yeah, I don't like this kind of treatment of Rust just because it is not C either)

  • Substitute age for reasoning skills and it will look much better (still doubtful for me, but definitely better than age). Well, who am I kidding, probably won't happen in my lifetime
