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...
