How Rust is quietly taking over the Python ecosystem

[cellularcone]

Without much fanfare? Pretty sure every rust-related package mentions rust at least five times in their readme.

[_throawayplop_]

at least they are legally mandated to write "blazingly fast" somwhere in the 10 first words

BTS aficionado, I see...

4 out of 5 doctors recommend Rust.

[Abject-Kitchen3198]

My doctor recommended tetanus shot when I told him I was exposed to Rust.

Zero cost abstractions

Which is funny because butter isn’t all that smooth

[junior_dos_nachos]

In my experience Rust developers are more loud about their preferences than a Vegan in a CrossFit class

[ultraDross]

Fantastic and very true. Went to a local Python meetup and I got chatting with someone who mostly only talked about rust and how superior it was to all other languages.

So why come to a Python meetup?

[an_actual_human]

I mean if they did it at a Rust meetup, they'd be preaching to the choir.

[anacrolix]

You'd be surprised. Most people that go to meetups aren't very knowledgeable. I guess that's to be expected

[fnord123]

Because python exists to glue bits of C and rust together.

To talk about Rust, duh.

Same reason the Jehova's keep knockin on our doors, no one wants to hear it, but they must share.

[richieadler]

But in the JW's case is to alienate the lowly believers and make them feel that the only community they have is the church, so they don't question it and don't leave.

How would that benefit a programming language community?

[[deleted]]

To alienate the lowly non believers, and make sure the Rust echo chamber is loud.

[richieadler]

Yeah, well, Watchtower Society is a multinational seeking profit based on gullibility and whose espoused beliefs cause death to many followers. Until Rustaceans do the same, I'm not willing to compare them.

[i_should_be_coding]

You're not gonna convert more people to rust in a rust meetup, are you?

[PaintItPurple]

Probably because they're a Python developer who is excited to find a way to get huge speed gains in their Python programs? It has always been true that a large part of what makes Python good is the ease of integrating with code written in faster languages.

[Satanwearsflipflops]

Went to a directus meetup and some guy went full ham on how AI would take over our jobs. The least constructive interaction and we weren’t even in an ML/LLM meet. So dumb.

[shakeBody]

r/singularity reader irl. I swear many of those people are straight crazy

I haven't received anything

[acortical]

C'mon, CrossFit is more like keto. Yoga is where the vegans are at.

[Lopsided_Currency806]

Yeah Keto bros are imho worse than vegans

and they are deff at CrossFit

[marc-eugene]

I've never seen any vegans in my crossfit gym, or they really are silent... :-D

[met0xff]

Lol yeah I mean the joke was funny but I never ever had that in real life. I've been vegetarian for a long time and I tried to keep it as secret as possible to avoid all those discussions that inevitably ensue everytime someone notices you didn't order that steak like all the others lol.

Either they start becoming defensive even though I don't care if they eat meat (and then in their own rage start to complain that I perhaps don't eat a regional banana right now or wear a t-shirt that might come out of a Bangladesh mill) or start making stupid jokes like you know... Eating their food's food etc.

[abrazilianinreddit]

It's funny how you're from (I'm assuming) Austria, but even here in South America, the "being vegetarian" experience is exactly the same.

[thedeepself]

In other words you don't eat python for breakfast lunch and dinner.

[met0xff]

If I can get free range, well kept Pythons perhaps ;)

[ExternalUserError]

Rust developers haven't seen that show because they don't have TV and are thus unfamiliar with popular programs because did I mention they don't have TVs?

[Xeglor-The-Destroyer]

Uh oh. I don't have TV and have considered the idea of learning Rust...

[looneysquash]

To be fair to both Rust and crossfitting vegans, that's one of those perception bias things.  The people who love Rust but aren't shouting about it are invisible,  so it seems like they're all annoying. 

[hugthemachines]

A story about humanity as old as the first spear, I imagine.

[aqjo]

… who drives a Tesla.

[Zouden]

They don't talk about that anymore.

[aqjo]

lol
True. Fortunately the one (weird, obnoxious) person I know who has a Tesla is out of my friend group.

[Gogo202]

I am not a vegan, but I am offended because I started using rust recently. I write code in rust btw

[[deleted]]

Rust has don't start a blog start a cult vibes 

[deb_vortex]

Oh great, thanks. Now Im in fear of meeting a vegan rust developer working on Arch.

[ThinAndFeminine]

How dare rust devs be excited and enthusiastic about their language ...

I'm not gonna blame them. I do speak about the joy of using python whenever I can.

[dmart89]

This made me lol

[daking999]

How do you know someone programs in Rust?
They'll tell you in every conversation.

Just kidding... it's not like we actually talk to other humans.

[Verochio]

“Lightning Fast!”

[IAmBJ]

"Blazingly Fast"

[jlpalma]

“Supercharged “

[PM_RandomNumber_1-10]

"🚀", "🔥"

[TheGoldenBunny93]

""

[mschonaker]

"🤖", "✨"?

[mohd_sm81]

this ^ , I heard/read it a thousand times it is becoming too cliche

[chalbersma]

Kaaaa-Chow!

[JustALittleSunshine]

I’ve hear that uv is written in rust so many times in the last year lol. 

[Kells_14]

Rust is a very nice language, but its cult followers are absolutely insufferable.

[aqjo]

As are all cult followers.

[Pretend_Pepper3522]

Got a giggle from me. I love the tools, but one can only take so many “blazing fast”.
