Seriously what’s up with lemmy and taking the most disingenuous interpretation of someone’s words
The article literally covered how rust is terrible for iteration and refactoring. Which are corner stones to building software in a small business. Which is where I’ve worked for the last six years. Which is also my personal favorite way to write code.
Y’all don’t have to start a damn argument every time someone disagrees with you
The problem is everyone shilling someone else's personal opinion as if it is a fact. I use Rust. I have no difficulty iterating or refactoring (did that just now). Granted, you are under no obligation to take my word. But why would someone's blog post be more authoritative than my own experience?
I’m glad you enjoy it. If you find the blog to not fit within your world experience no one is saying you need to take it otherwise. However the author’s take did resonate with me
The “problem” (as you put it) is that people get emotionally invested in their language of choice. Instead of just accepting that there will always be as many languages (and styles of language) as there are types of people
Rust is great! I’m glad people like it. But for me it will always be painful and that slows me down. A slow developer is a hungry developer
People can like different things y’all
@tdawg @technom You are spot on. #Rust is for perfectionists.
