It is just because people are sensitive. Period.

His comment should be read as “I don’t get the borrow checker”.

Response of the Rust community: “lets vote him to oblivion”.

Response should be: what part of it is not clear, hand him reference material etc.

This was the same with scala (which has its userbase cut in 1/10th of what it is). Scala is now almost extinct.

I would hate for Rust to become the next Scala because it offers so much nice features (for me that is native binaries) among others.

I’ve had my share of response to honest questions which resulted in comments that I should be using language X, or that I have some nice term wrong (which does not relate to the problem I was experiencing), I am asking the wrong question and so on.

Luckily there also were helpful comments, which kept me in the Rust ecosystem.

The other behaviour is not productive and just makes Rust look like a niche, elite and too hard language.

Be nice to each other. It will only make Rust and its community stronger.

I am in the process of learning rust by creating software for my own use.

While the borrow checker feels like “fighting the compiler” at times (it took me a week before it started to land, and i have used my share of programming languages!), you will learn.

I compare this to the C world where you can have quite complex constructs with pointers and references. That used to be hard as hell as well. Until it clicks.

The only difference is that in C land, your software will segfault during runtime. In Rust your code will complain during compilation.

Rust without borrow checker is just a bad version of C in my opinion. Rust with borrow checker actually brings value.

In rust it is still possible to make circular references and cause memory leaks but it is very less likely.

So: i understand where you are coming from but give it a chance to land. I am glad I did.

The only thing which is bothering me at times is that the Rust community can come across as highly unfriendly/intolerant at times (comparable to the scala community, which in effect killed the adoption of scala).

The response to your comment should not have been burning it to the ground but to ask why the borrow checker does not click for you.

I can highly recommend the series “lets get rusty” on YT from Bogdan. He is explaining the main constructs in very easy to follow instructions videos.

Have a look and see if it makes it work for you!

Same here.

Daily driver is a mac but I always use a desktop Linux machine at home.

Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.

I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.

He just puked over all the others…

The innocent people getting killed in attacks on churches (even Catholic ones) and refugee camps and whole suburban areas are awful.

Even if 10% actively supports Hamas (which is not the case) it does not warrant the genocidal reaction of Israel. Hamas has just given them the excuse to clear out their “problem areas” of every living spul who happens to be there.

An award winning journalist who compared this to the pogroms of ww2 is maybe not that far off.

Even ventilating an opinion about the actions of the IDF is branded as “antisemitism”.

I am not pro Hamas, but what happens over there has nothing to do with self defense.

Feck off with your xenophobic shit talk.

Hungary should not be in the EU. Kick them out!

Yeah attacking refugee camps, hospitals and private residences will ensure peace for sure.

/s

The number of future terrorists will only increase in numbers because people will have destroyed homes and murdered innocent brothers and fathers to avenge.

FYI: Most people there just make due with what they have and do not even support Hamas.

Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.

The only people allowed to commit genocide is the people who were victim of genocide?

No thank you.

I am getting a bit tired of the card the Israeli government pulls.

“No you cannot commit war crimes against civilians because of WW2.”

Out with Hungary I say.

Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!

You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.

Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.

I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!

Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.

♥️

D’aww you guys…

Group hug!

Dude, it’s users like you (who provide content) to the platform who we need to thank for supporting the platform.

The fact that someone does not understand the karma scoring should not discourage you.

Welcome!

Saved 85%.

This is actually amazing. And a bad journalist.

I would not be surprised if (on a data science level) this means something about the true intentions and validity of the article.

Good bot!

This article was undoubtedly sponsored by Shell…

Ev’s get more and more range, they drive considerably better than the biggest gas guzzler and YES even if you take the lithium into account AND the production, they have considerable less emissions than the traditional car.

Now move on.
