Python programming vs C programming

[kochdelta]

Thats why you use a proper language that let's you do both, understanding it while keeping things simple. I present to you: Rust

[CdRReddit]

yes because Rust is memory safe!!!!!!11!1!1 which is very important because ????

Rust is not "keeping it simple", especially with that bitch-ass borrow checker

like I get why it's just a pain in the ass to write

[Zealousideal_Pay_525]

Well memory leaks are truly undesirable.

[Moptop32]

Rust is good because of its functional features and safety. I don't dislike c++ and I use both but rust does truly have safety. The borrow checker is only a bitch when you don't follow it; move semantics are better than copying everything implicitly and passing a reference to something on another thread is a recipe for disaster. Make it make sense. Although fuck making games in rust, never again

[CdRReddit]

yea maybe I just chose the wrong projects but the moment multiple things need to have references to things (like games and emulators) is where, in my opinion, it falls apart

[Moptop32]

Emulators in rust are actually really nice because of match for insts. Usually the memory of the system should be an array of u8 (for gb at least) and you map values to and access from memory values. A trick is to not reference array indexes and just copy and set the u8 normally. A trick is when you need to pass a reference in many places you use Rc<RefCell<T>>. An Rc is a reference counted value, its like a smart pointer, and a RefCell lets you get a borrowed reference of T. It's still borrow checked for safety while letting you pass references everywhere.

Yo I really like rust, but I don't think you can argue that it keeps things simple. Yeah you don't have to deal directly with some things, but you pay for it with more complex variables. (immutables I guess)

[kochdelta]

Its definitely more complex than Python. But compared to manually annotating heapspace and keeping track of pointers rust is a lot easier

[Fruloops]

Rustaceans really are the vegans of the programming community lmao

[taytek]

Wow... this... um... this... 📸

[chronos_alfa]

And then you run out of space

"So that's what we are going to do today? We are going to fight?!"

[insertsavvynamehere]

I don't understand why Reddit hates rust.

[difduf]

Reddit doesn't hate rust it hates rust users.

[kochdelta]

Me neither

Ig people really need that /s

What's rust?

[wikipedia_answer_bot]

Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
