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

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?

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

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

Are you saying dessalines is a hot femboy?

[–] swab148@startrek.website 24 points 1 year 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?

Rust: works

Zig: segmentation fault

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] ledtasso@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] beastman@billys.mom 1 points 1 year ago

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

Rust has cute crab

Zig has scary lizard

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

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

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It finished even faster when it crashes right?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Development paradigms spearheaded by MySQL and PHP, where it was discovered that you can be really fast if you don't care about getting the right answer.

[–] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

Never heard of zig before, thanks

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] kazaika@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months 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 1 year ago

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

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

It's like a shower for developers

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm s simple

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

OK you got me.

[–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm not Rusting enough.

🤣🤣🤣
