Can confirm, that after learning rust, my friend automatically converted to femboy with an owner. (Saw their Twitter bio)

[–] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

One of my friends came out as trans shortly after telling me they enjoyed Rust.

... I realized I'm trans shortly after starting to learn Rust. Are you telling me there's a casual link?

[–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 62 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm not Rusting enough.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

Correct.

This. This is how you get me to try your programming language.

Are you saying dessalines is a hot femboy?

[–] swab148@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Let's ask him @dessalines@lemmy.ml

Rust: it will take 10 months to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.

Zig: it will take 10 days to build the app you want, but it will run super fast.

You get to pick one cult. Which one is it?

[–] unique_hemp@discuss.tchncs.de 87 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Rust: works

Zig: segmentation fault

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So how is Zig different from C or C++, then?

[–] ledtasso@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Much nicer than C, much simpler than C++, much less cruft than both.

[–] beastman@billys.mom 1 points 2 years ago

@CanadaPlus @unique_hemp the biggest difference is that they don't make any memory changes invisibly

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 50 points 2 years ago

Rust has cute crab

Zig has scary lizard

[–] wischi@programming.dev 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Zig isn't even v1 and without any API stability guarantees.

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 2 years ago

It finished even faster when it crashes right?

[–] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd like to point out, the value add of Rust isn't speed, it's safety in a low-level language. C is also just as fast, it's just that Rust guarantees safety in a wide class of potential catastrophic bugs with little to no runtime overhead, by using the design of the language and compiler.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

That's very true. My main issue though is the steep learning curve

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Idk I just wrote a simple cli tool in 2 hours in Rust. Complete with arg validation, actually helpful --help output, and parallelisation.

[–] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Never heard of zig before, thanks

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago

I dunno man... having "no macros" as a selling point?

[–] kazaika@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wanted to try zig a couple of times now but was always put off by lacking tooling and generally bad compiler errors. Its kinda hard to justify spending time on something if you see the compiler point out an error inside a standart lib zig file and there is no directon for a fix whatsoever. Im hoping it'll get better because the language seems really great

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I am a simple man. I see Astolfo, I upvote.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

It's like a shower for developers

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

OK you got me.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm s simple
