It's official, Rust is an anti C/C++ elitist slur (lemmy.world)

That's a lot of words for "I don't understand the borrow checker"

In all seriousness, yeah rust users are annoying, but I think rust is a welcome change over C/C++

Hey I'm both an annoying Rust user and I also don't understand the borrow checker. I just put & and * in front of things until it works.

I found this tutorial pretty helpful for that: http://intorust.com/

You can presumably skip the first two chapters...

Same. I keep thinking back to my time TAing for an intro programming course and getting students who just add random braces until their code compiles. That's me right now with Rust pointers.

Speaking as an annoying Rust user, you're being bigoted. I'm annoying, but the vast majority of Rust users are normal people who you wouldn't even know are using Rust.

Don't lump all the others in with me, they don't deserve that.

While the borrow checker has its downsides, so its legitimate uses. A few people in the D community were thinking about implementing it as a library.

Didn't know D still had an active community, that's pretty awesome. Wonder if someone has ever worked on a borrow checker for Nim.

D seems to getting traction yet again, and some stuff might get better (D3, new GC, new standard library, etc).
