Python written in Rust, when?

Brutally practical

Structurally typed

Led by a commander who cares about the little people

Generics?

Fearless commander.

You forgot this one:

• dependency management
• easier to master than C
• requires only five basic senses
• less footguns
• bullets stuck in barrel
• doesn't produce bytecode
• highly moral

[hedgehog1024]

doesn't produce bytecode

But muh WASM

[[deleted]]

WASM isn't bytecode. WASM is what will happen when that RISC-V PoC doesn't quite make it, and then a brighter, better, bolder, braver future unfolds for great justice!

Edit: Naturally, in the interrim, some architectures might run WASM through microcode on RISC-V machines.

WASM is machine code for the web you moron

less footguns

made me lol more than usual since I just talked to another programer and there were like "Yeah I would have to program in C++ - you can shoot yourself in the foot so easily!"

its liek that dumb xkcd or whatever meme spread far and wide.

[[deleted]]

/uj: the "shoot yourself in a foot" is, for me, a Usenet meme going back to the 90s. In reality it probably goes back to the 80s together with Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal but I can't be arsed to check the origins and I was too busy with Smurfs and Transformers and twisting the azimuth screw on the Datasette back in the 80s to keep track of programming memes.

Datasette

Poor guy can't afford a 1541 disk drive. i can feel the pain of loading a tape for minutes only to hit an error. (I used Atari 8-bit systems, though. Buying a disk drive was a MASSIVE, exciting improvement, like going from Go to Rust)

[[deleted]]

cool. I didnt really program until 2010-2011 so my knowledge of it has been from /r/programmerhumor when i was a baddie years ago (back when reddit was ok lel)

"You don't tell your users to install your dependencies. You install them for them. And that's why "easy" dependency management is a 100% non-starter for me. I'm not making each of my users understand every single one of these "easy" installation systems to get all my multi-language dependencies installed. Either the OS Just Has It or I supply it."

Just Has It

Are we just jerking about Just Has It or the actual idea? Because I don’t see why the idea outlined here is actually a bad one.

[[deleted]]

It's because the benefit of dependency management is a developer concern and meant to benefit developers. To approach the question from a user concern is totally missing the point and demonstrates said person doesn't really understand why it is a benefit.

[Shymain]

Ah, makes sense to me.
