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?

[–] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm not Rusting enough.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

Correct.

Are you saying dessalines is a hot femboy?

[–] swab148@startrek.website 29 points 10 months ago

Let's ask him @dessalines@lemmy.ml

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

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

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago (8 children)

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 96 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Rust: works

Zig: segmentation fault

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Also no higher-order functions like map, filter, reduce etc.

Really weird design decision for a brand new language.

Comptime is pretty dope tho, I wish Rust had that instead of relying on macros so much.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ledtasso@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] beastman@billys.mom 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 53 points 10 months ago

Rust has cute crab

Zig has scary lizard

[–] wischi@programming.dev 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It finished even faster when it crashes right?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 10 months 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 25 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 14 points 10 months ago

Never heard of zig before, thanks

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] kazaika@lemmy.world 1 points 8 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 10 months ago

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

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 10 months ago

It's like a shower for developers

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm s simple

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

OK you got me.
