why not rustlang?justify your reasons.
To me rust is just C++ if the standard library was actually cohesive and well designed and the whole language hadn't spent 30 years getting random crap tacked onIt's C++ but without any header files autism and an actual package manager. Cloning and building a rust project takes 30 seconds rather than C++ where it takes 30 minutes and 20 google searchesThe memory safety stuff to me isn't even that much of a selling point. Sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's quite annoying, but to me it's not even a main reason to use rust. It's just what retards who have never used it fixate on for some reason
>>108534103Its 14 years old and its still 10 times less popular than C++. Why?
>>108534103I want develop apps and uis for phone desktop and web, can't do that with rust, also a painful learning curve
>>108534204it's 2026 just vibe code
>>108534137fpbpThose who know, know. cargo alone heems anything C++ can offer. Reminder we have like 1000s of these cope package managers like vcpkg, conan, buck(2) and outside of like, NixOS (nixpkgs), they're all shit. Rust won.
>>108534204What the fuck are you on about? There are like 2 or 3 different webview toolkits that work on all 3 just fine.
go is the language of the cloud. ts is the language of the web. c is the language of MCU’s. what’s rust’s story? why should i learn it? most of us are not working on the kernel or building runtimes etc. c# and c++ already have gaming. why should i learn rust? ive never heard a compelling reason other than the borrow checker. that’s slightly interesting but it’s not enough. also, the steering committee being what it is, huge turn off.
>>108534315Because it's better than all three of the garbage things you listed.
The problem with C++ is that it ignores many of the advancements made in programming language theory, to the extent that I’d call it 20-30 years behind. I’m not a rust user, but I find it hard to argue against a (pseudo) functional programming language that operates at the speed of C.
Working with C++ just feels good.
>>108534103I use Rust extensively. The main reason some people hate it or think it's too hard to work with is because they try to use it like it's C when they should use it like it's C++ as the first reply says. Zig is the language to use as C.
>>108534103I don't give a shit about your language features I want the simplest thing to get things done, thus Go.
>>108534145Everyone already knew C/C++, which is used for the same purposes. Even if Rust is better, and I have no idea if it is, it has to be drastically better to get people to quit using a language they've been using since the 70s.
>why not rustlang?I write slop for the government, I don't think they realize Rust exists yet
>>108534103ecosystem still has a long looooooong way to go even after a decadeno improvement in sighteverything is just rewritten over and over gain with no meaningful progressa bunch of unproductive amateurs obsessed with control not concerned with productivity
>>108534103because I love JavaScript more
>>108534137Na the memory safety shit is quite nice. I can design with confidence knowing my autism gets caught by the compiler. Handling mutexes and atomic reference counting has never been easier.And don't get me started in Async
Because the symbol soup sucks and I don't feel like doing gymnastics to satisfy the compiler.
