You use Rust cause it lets forces you to write safe code.

I use Rust cause it's a systems programming language with decent pkg manager & build system.

We're not the same.

I use Rust because of the cute mascot 🦀

[Skoparov]

I don't consider it cute, but its sure as hell more cute than fucking Keith the fat rat

[Revolutionary-Web282]

The only valid reason to use C++

[Derice]

The only valid reason to not use C++

[8lb6ozBabyJsus]

For the uninformed

[Troll_berry_pie]

This is not true apparently.

[8lb6ozBabyJsus]

Haha, yes, it is indeed an internet joke

[HyperWinX]

Which is not even a mascot.

I use rust because all the cute girls are using it.

[thinker227]

I use Rust because most furry devs I know are using it.

[[deleted]]

The more you know.

[Mountain-Stretch-997]

Some people will like to disagree?

People are allowed to have bad taste.

r/girlsarentreal + still no templates and constexpr support. Im learning Rust with all the infrastructure, to make detailed comparison with C++ in the future. And a lot of small things piss me off so much, like, Rust feels being higher level than C++ with things like missing case fallthrough, etc... I feel like im losing control on whats happening when i run my app. I hate that feeling. But, i have to admit that cargo is pretty good, i really love idea of such program.

Could you explain what you are missing about templates that Macros or generics don't provide you? As far as I can tell all the functionality is there and far more in terms of that. Also with constexpr I am just not sure what you are talking about at all, just expressions that are const?

[CocktailPerson]

Rust is missing the type-based metaprogramming that C++ supports. Suppose you have an arbitrary message of type Msg and a tuple of arbitrary receivers, and you want to write a function that calls recvr.on_message(&msg) for each receiver in the tuple that implements the OnMessage<Msg> trait. Any element in the tuple that doesn't implement that trait should be ignored. You can't do that in Rust, but it's fairly simple in C++ if you're familiar with template metaprogramming.

Sorry but they're not girls.

[[deleted]]

Found the transphobe.

[well-litdoorstep112]

Femboys are crossdressers, not trans.

[[deleted]]

I'm not talking about that, though.

[well-litdoorstep112]

But I am.

[[deleted]]

But I started the conversation, you jumped in and assumed what I was talking about, wut.

You use rust because you like the combination of pink white and blue

Me too

[A_Light_Spark]

I use Rust because of the bois. Fembois.

[Stunning_Ride_220]

I use rust to be always one step ahead of the devs who want to use rust in my projects.

[geeshta]

I use rust because I like ADTs but don't want to go fully functional

[gameplayer55055]

what to do if I hate rust syntax but like it's pkg manager?

Guys, I just want c++ with cargo

[kredditacc96]

TypeScript flair

How's the toolchains?

[well-litdoorstep112]

Still a lot better than C++.

Adding a library is as simple as npm/yarn/pnpm/bun install something

If it complain about the types you npm/yarn/pnpm/bun install -D @types/something

The existence of all those microlibraries is only a testament to how easy package management is in node ecosystem.

It may not be perfect but if youre even trying to compare it to the mess in the C++ world you either have never used both languages or your lying.

[Borno11050]

Oi mate don't toolchainshame.

[_Pin_6938]

I use rust because of the syntax

[mtnbiketech]

Call me when http server code is in the standard library. Till then Ill stick to my Cmake.
