As someone who is a big fan of shipping fast and shipping often :tm: this article is both really great and also cemented why I’ll never like rust. It’s a neat tool, just not for me
Seriously what’s up with lemmy and taking the most disingenuous interpretation of someone’s words
The article literally covered how rust is terrible for iteration and refactoring. Which are corner stones to building software in a small business. Which is where I’ve worked for the last six years. Which is also my personal favorite way to write code.
Y’all don’t have to start a damn argument every time someone disagrees with you
I agree with your sentiment about users sometimes are disingenuous with their fanboyism. But trying to pretend article is saying rust is terrible for refactoring is not a fair argument either. Some library grade code may require more attention, yes. But in most cases it means you would need to do many changes in other languages too, but you'll discover it in production.
Y’all are taking my hyperbole a bit literal. I’m sure rust is fine. The article had brought up that iteration and flexibility are the weak points. This resonates with my personal experience. That was my entire point from the beginning. I don’t like rust, I will never like rust. I’m glad y’all like rust. There is no “argument” here. It’s just opinion
The only thing I have issue with is people pretending I’m somehow a crazy person for not liking their favorite toy
