Of all things in fediverse culture, the one that will always get to me is that shitting on Rust is such a sure fire way of getting boosts. The tech gatekeeping on here is sadly very real.
Like, c'mon. We can put the toxic git-gud approach to language and toolchain development behind us. We don't need to haze people out of systems programming and embedded development.
Of course, I say "we," but it's not actually "we" any more. Because what I've learned is that you can never, ever be good enough for the C/C++ crowd. Ever.
Just fuck it. Fuck C, fuck C++, fuck that whole gatekeeping culture.
@xgranade Isn't it just because people keep asking devs to rewrite their projects in rust, and/or to add rust to their projects, which are very much not rust? Fuck rust. I don't want to deal with it, I think it's a giant pain in the ass to do anything in rust. And now it's even needed to compile things like the linux kernel...
@xgranade Yes, thank you for being part of the problem, too.
@DPA There's good reasons to reimplement things in memory safe languages, and it's not like the C/C++ crowd haven't been insisting that *everyone else in all of software development* learn and have their toolchains installed at all times.
Anyway, that's the exact kind of bs reply that has me so pissed off, so..... congrats on being part of the problem, I guess?
