Disclaimer: I pretty much don't like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

It's not that I don't like Rust, I just don't know what to do with it

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 20 points 5 days ago

Anything you used to make in C, C++, C# and Typescript

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Just wrap it in unsafe tags and you can accomplish the same things you can already do in any other language!

Excuse me but, can Rust even give me undecipherable Lore Ipsums of diagnostics at the same level that C++ can? If not, it's not even a competition.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 4 points 5 days ago

This may be cheating but yes, sometimes there are cycles in type/generic definitions and the compiler loops their identifiers over and over, nesting them inside each other

You are almost inspiring me to go see this live.

But be noted it's really not a drop-in replacement language for C-derived languages. It's more like OCaml with curly brackets.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 9 points 5 days ago

Yes of course. But there is nothing you can't do. Only thing that may retain some of you is tooling that wasn't ported

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Feed it through a coffee grinder and mix it with similarly powdered aluminum.

Then set that on fire (bonus points for doing it on lake ice. That’s fun!)

Oh. Uh. Not that kind of rust?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

No, but yours has more real-world applications

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

You use it to write programs.
