I mean they've got a gun so I'd imagine so

At this point it would take this for me to learn javascript.

The Rust compiler tends to turn my impostor syndrome to 11. I assume she has some kind of humiliation kink and I do not consent.

If the borrow checker fails, the thing in their hand might throw some very effective error messages.

Rust and Bust.

The image was modified, I think the original said something like "we're gonna listen to Russian number stations on shortwave radio"

I think the original text was about ham radio.

I mean, presumably there's a microcontroller in this radio. For programming that, your only real mainstream choices are C, C++ and Rust, since you can't have a language runtime without a filesystem.

But yeah, it's neither the case that Rust is overwhelmingly popular for that (C/C++ do stick around still), nor is it the only discipline where Rust shines.

Check this guy out, doesn't even have any radio equipment in his IDE

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Plex and chill

So it's like slightly more responsible Python

But I'm scared of Monad transformers and lenses. Can't I just use elm? Elm is so perfect, so pure, so very very pure. And so pretty. And so robust. And so instantaneous to compile, and with such helpful error messages. Come to me, haskell programmer, you'll never want to leave. Never leave... Always elm.... Lovely lovely elm....
