Other metals can corrode as well. It's not only iron oxidation.

[-] rice@lemmy.org 3 points 6 months ago

We're talking about rust, not corroding. Rust is only iron, nothing else.

Golang is better for many things

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Golang is almost never the best choice

Rust has readability issues

Golang isn't perfect but it does improve readability thus maintainably.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I'm not saying Rust is better for all applications, but IMO Golang has a pretty bad readability due to the "simplicity" they keep adhering to. Heck, even their generics support is still pretty terrible, and that's a fundamental feature for properly readable code.

Something that deteriorates the structural integrity of load-bearing frameworks /s.

Being serious, it's another programming languages that is gaining popularity. Others can expand on why it's good. I've never used it myself so I can't comment in good faith. I also don't have any experience with Rust-bros so I can't comment on their code quality. I've mostly just been watching amused as they fight with the Linux development community.

No idea. I just like Python and stuff. Not much of a low level kind of guy.

We used to have good, strong open source tools made out of C (which is a lot like steel - it can only be worked by blue collar computer nerds with muscly brains). Now that steel core is corroding because of the influence of hackers and other white collar computer sorts with their creative problem solving, and unintended uses of memory.

That new corrosion is called rust, and it eventually appears on every C project that's left outside, unless someone comes along to brush it off occasionally.

It's that awkward language between C and Zig that (even decades after it's realized to be a false start) will take forever to die.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
