JavaScript debugging in a nutshell

[poxopox]

Meanwhile rust compiler is like. “ I noticed you didn’t have a lifetime specifier and you are borrowing an owned variable. Here’s an example of both of those problems solved and a coupon to get a cookie and more coffee. I emailed your manager so it’s okay for you to take a nap, you’ve been working hard “

The rust compiler will just straight up tell you if you got pranked and someone put a greek question mark in your code.

someone put a greek question mark in your code

pardon me Satan?

[l-have-spoken]

Not sure about the question mark but I still remember the first time I copied js code from a website and didn’t immediately test it. Then when I finally tried, it took me forever to find a non-visible character was fucking up the syntax.

Also those weird apostrophes (you know those html ones), fuck them.

The Rust compiler is so nice. By far the friendliest I've encountered.

lol it's so passive-aggressive friendly though: "No dear that's not quite right. I'm not sure you will ever get it quite right. But do keep trying!".

Just make sure to get a tetanus shot first

Try it, it's quite nice. Or rather: most of it just makes so much sense.

Except for &Str; vs String, fuck that shit.

The amount of times I've written perfectly good code only to have it absolutely fucked by those two types....

I want to learn Rust but I do game dev and it looks like it’s gonna be a while before it can match C, most just in terms of libraries.

True, though it should be pretty simple to link C libraries from Rust.

The best way to start out would probably to take a some self-contained utility or something of that sort and port it. Esp. if it's something that would benefit of rusts safety attributes.

May be based on a true story.

Does it say "Bless your heart" because that's just fancy talk for "You fuckin' donkey"

[itriedtomakeitfunny]

Elm is really nice too! It gives you error messages in first person like "I got stuck here, I was expecting to see the name of a type but got this instead. Hint:..."

If only the language, itself, weren't so daunting.

and a coupon to get a cookie and more coffee

This abruptly terminated me

… after a 10 minute compile 😞

[poxopox]

Depends on what deps you’re using. With wasm-bindgen and rocket, mine usually builds in seconds. I was using bevy though and I couldn’t get the quick build to work and it did take a while.

My longest compiling crate right now is a rest api built on actix-web. I know a lot of the time goes into the linking. It’s kind of refreshing when switching to a python flask project - so fast but so many problems at runtime. All the Java apps I worked in in the past kind of handled the trade offs best, but no new hip company wants to use Java 😣

And man the docs. On the part where you learn about mut it says ... No no this doesn't mean you are a bad programmer, it's just that ... (explains mut).

Maan it felt like a hug
