tl;dr go straight into async rust and question your life choices

Oh, i feel that… with polars when dealing with huge dataframes…

I did the same,

Tried rust again after a while,

Gave up on C++

and the cycle continues

Logic bugs or memory bugs? Also, rust never claimed to be safe from all security related bugs, just memory bugs.

Those people who do claim are either stupid or delulu

I think the new one is fine, as long as you keep the setup code around at the earliest point possible (which you did :D)

Why do you have 8 gpus and how were you able to afford all of them in this period of time lol

Probably a couple reasons

1) it originated from windows
2) There were discrepancies and the author needed a stable base (which doesn’t update glibc since who knows what the fuck is going to happen when you bump that thing)

I really like Bazel, tools, especially LSP support have gotten really good in recent months

But like, that’s what you do anyway when you use third-party libraries (outside of a reasonable operating system called Linux)

Since prebuilt libraries are a pain to maintain

It feels like a double edged sword,

1) Yes, i get that some people just aren’t skilled enough, or simply don’t have the time to learn rust.

But 2) Why would you want to ship an entire python runtime? At that point, just use electron lol. Especially since it’s more mature.

Especially when people are stressed out due to a weekly deadline that keeps changing with different requirements.

That’s the difference between professional software development and hobby development.

You simply don’t have the time to write it properly to begin with. Yes, you’ll improve, but there will always be something that you fuck up.

I would answer:
“Sure, but by that logic, 99% of developers aren’t skilled. Everyone has written memory unsafe code at least once. Those rust compiler guardrails are there thanks to the mistakes a lot of people make when they’re under a tight deadline (like usual in the SE field).”

the TRUTH about this NEW Language (BETTER Than Rust and C++?)

You can technically also do it in C, but it is quite comber some.

Not just that, everything you need, you basically need to create it yourself.

low level learning has a great video that also mentions it

It’s simple, malloc abstracts memory allocation away. Each and every library uses it.

zig does not. You need to manually create the memory allocator (usually gpo) and pass it to everything that wants to allocate memory. You can even write your own!

Oh yea I agree, LLVMs tool chain gets better with every year

I also don’t want to convince you to stick with rust, I just want to convince you to stick with rust for a couple of projects and move back to C.

Afterwards make a comparison of your C code before and after learning rust.

It blew my mind xD
May 3, 2025 at 4:56 PM
I really like rusts way of teaching things, as it made me a better C/++ programmer as it rewired my entire brain into thinking: will this shit compile?
Which allows me to write correct code from the start
I really recommend sticking with it for a couple of projects, even if it’s absolutely horrific.

Regarding the community, that’s usually just the loud minority. If you ask nicely, people tend to help out. (Well, unless you ask on stack overflow)

Regarding the language: The frustration is real, but there will be a tipping point where it’ll feel natural.
May 3, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Though, one thing I still fcking hate is async in rust. When done right, it’s quite nice to use. But a single mistake and the compiler will swear death to you
May 3, 2025 at 4:47 PM
There are definitely some annoyances, but i guess the pain just wears away after a couple of months working with it professionally
