Planning to have my first work day of my year as a full-time writer this coming Monday.

Rust hurts my brain

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
I have a hard time seeing functional languages as "low-level." I think it's a high level language masquerading as a low-level language by brute force, and that force is seen when you try to compile something. XD

@ivanmarkov @amin @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
A language can be a systems programming language and also high-level. Heck, C was considered high-level when I was a young-un. XD
Being a low-level language isn't about speed or usability, but the level of abstraction. I don't know much about rust, but it does seem to provide a reasonably high level of abstraction, while still producing quite optimized object code.

@rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
It's a high-level language when boomers look at it and a low-level one when zoomers look at it. Like quantum particles, it depends on the observer.

Ah yes, the Bohr school of mystical wave functions.
The circle of hype is complete. XD

Hot take, "Rewrite in Rust" bros are to FOSS what a well-thrown bowling ball is to a game of Jenga.
-
@amin @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
Rewrite it in rust is the same thing as "Metal" fans who listens to only metallica..
-
@sotolf @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
"Rewrite it in Rust" is the programming language equivalent of btw bros. ;)
-
@rl_dane @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42 Well, I mean the btw bro's were actually using arch though, which makes it different. :p
-
@sotolf @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
You mean the "Rewrite it in Rust" bros are rust posers?
BTW, some of the btw bros were running Manjaro.
-
@rl_dane @amin @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42 90 % of the RiiR dudes (yeah, I bet they are all guys) have never used rust, they just jumped onto the SAFETY Bandwagon.
-
@sotolf @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
At least the bandwagon is memory safe, who cares how many pedestrians it runs over /j
(I have no clue where I'm going with that metaphor)
-
@amin @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42 Haha, no it's not memory safe they think, from what I have understood from having tried discussing with them is that rust is safe, you can't do wrong things in it because it's rust, and blazingly fast [insert sparkle and rocket emoji here]
-
@sotolf @rl_dane @ivanmarkov @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
the web framework I used was literally named "rocket" and spat out sparkle and rocket emojis every time it ran into the logs

-
@ivanmarkov @sotolf @rl_dane @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
I think I mostly used it because it was vaguely similar to ExpressJS.

@amin @sotolf @rl_dane @pixx @clayton @orbitalmartian @kabel42
I think Axum is a pretty sane option when it comes to web frameworks :D I really enjoyed making my small project in it personally

axum is awesome!
