I use Rust because I can’t spell Pyethon

LOL!

Serious reply to meme post incoming:

I love using rust and I think the reason for it is interesting. Because very few people actually care about memory safety without garbage collector (including me, I would gladly use a language with a garbage corrector as well).

For me at least, the actual reasons are

1. It has familiar curly brace syntax without significant whitespace
2. It has many functional language features, which I love
3. Something something thread safety
4. Managing versions and compatibility is extremely easy thanks to rustup and great backwards compatibility
5. Getting set up with the tooling is very quick and easy
6. The official lsp server just works and is really good
7. The official formatter is heavily opinionated and I love it (never have to think about code formatting)
8. The language is turning me into a cute girl
9. Managing dependencies and packages is nice thanks to an official package manager existing and being really good
10. Deployment is easy thanks to it compiling to a binary that depends on next to nothing

So yeah, what I like about rust doesn’t actually have too much to do with the language itself, more the experience around it, although I also really like the language itself. It’s just a very complete package.

I use Rust because C++ GUI frameworks stink.

You use rust

We are not the same

I use Rust because everything else is way harder. The Rust compiler holds your hand and prevents so many bad software patterns from compiling in the first place.

I use Rust because I’m gay

Anyone else playing the new Crab Champions update? How about that popcorn gun?
