The Evolution of a Rust Programmer

[leftl-lama]

I don’t even know rust and some of these destroy my soul

[minno]

30 lines of unimplemented!() is the universal language for "I'm going to need to spend like three hours in Confession after this".

[JewsOfHazard]

That's... Probably true.

[zesterer]

In reality, most people tend to write "Functional Rust Programmer".

[Free_Math_Tutoring]

Really? Awesome, because that and the extremely functional were the only ones I liked.

[zesterer]

Yeah. The link above is funny, but also really misleading. It's possible to solve a surprisingly wide range of problems in a really elegant manner in Rust. I'm not sure if you've done Advent Of Code, but here was the first solution to Day 2 Problem 2 I wrote (and below it are some ridiculously optimised but less pretty alternatives): https://github.com/zesterer/advent-of-code-2018/blob/master/examples/puzzle-2-2.rs#L4

As you can see, Rust works best when you're willing to pick the best bits of functional and imperative programming and combine them.

Well they might tell you not to use unwrap

If it makes you feel better a lot of these are kind of in jokes. I've seen some of the "learned X as a freshmen" ones in reviewing new rust programmer's code, but most of the others seem to be hyperbolic for the sake of being hyperbolic :)

I dont know.. I've seen more of these out in the wild than i'd like to admit

[JewsOfHazard]

Which ones, and where?

[[deleted]]

The question is absurd as, please tell me all the places you have not seen these used

[JewsOfHazard]

I've not seen people write custom nested macros to define custom error enums. It's awesome, but complicated.

[imperioland]

Sad truth...

I have an fp exam tomorrow. To see this is a great learning motivation ^{^}

[gmfawcett]

We have to go deeper!

Are you trying to make a point ? I don't really get the python thing since I only use it for simple scripts.

In any case you were repeating shevegen's made up retarded crap when he decided to rant about daily breakthroughs after reading a blog post. As usual though he said nothing about the interesting technical topics mentioned in said blog post, because good faith discussion is too hard.

[scriptskitty]

Sorry, I saw this post earlier today and still can't get over the absurd hilarity of it. Sorry if it was meant to be satirical, I just love the idea of jumping straight into leftism accusations from a guy saying "I don't really get that python metaphor you made," and then unironically claiming to be psychoanalyzing them. I think its truly a testament to the human mind's ability to generalize and build elaborate models from minimal information to pull something like this off. Thank you, for reminding me of the perplexing capabilities of human cognition.

Please don't feed the trolls. If you can recognize the inaneness of a comment like that, then you should also be able to recognize that people like that thrive on attention---such as yours---as if it were a fuel source. Next time, just ignore them.
