I can't see anything in the text that would disallow that other than "mod doesn't like it" - if so, it's rather similar to what Reddit's being accused of in this post. So far my experience is that opinions on this Lemmy federation are even more homogeneous than they are on Reddit - the prevailing view is just different. Again, this post has been a good example. It's all a little disappointing.

Just curious - I have no interest in giving QAnon conspiracies more oxygen - but on what basis were they banned? Being disastrously misinformed, on its own, does not appear to be against the Code of Conduct (and nor should it be).

I really like Rust but there are lots of situations I wouldn't use it. Some examples:

• If I want very strict control over dependencies, a very small number of dependencies, or dependencies with specific/trusted origin.
• If I was building software that won't be actively maintained for years but might need adjustments later. The Rust ecosystem is a fast-moving target and upgrading a library could cause a huge cascade of other changes.
• For the most hassle-free integration with an important library like Qt, particularly if a Qt GUI is the main point of my application.
• Most web front-end. Using WASM to control the DOM with glue code is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
• (?) Probably most event-driven apps like GUIs. Rust's lifetimes mostly stay out of your way but they only work on the stack. Synchronisation between potentially multiple threads is very in-your-face and explicit, compared with say Java's "synchronized" methods. It's only early days for Rust GUI frameworks so I will wait and see. Maybe they'll come up with something great.
