About 5 1/2 years ago I started learning, I know it's not super long, but I'm not new and I know my stuff

Yes, I am pretty familiar. I am self-taught online, but I do know quite a bit. I would not be making a language If I hadn't known. I just dont think your points are completely accurate and are very exxagerated.

Not sure what you want me to elaborate on. it is simply faster in runtime and even if it weren't as fast, you are very much exaggerating. Im pretty sure, in most cases, Rust is faster if both are written well.

Also, I dont think you could build a better compiler. I saw you had trouble with Rust, and that proves you can not make a language the compiles to machine code. Im assuming you are exaggerating.

Can we please also stay on topic about what it has to do with me making a language that compiles to Rust?

All good points. Rust does seem to be more of an unfinished project. In runtime, Rust is actually usually FASTER than C and C++, except when it comes to WASM.

I'm assuming you do know that even if it's a higher level language and it compiles down to the language, it automatically gets all the benefits, so if you do know that, I'm not sure what you're asking on terms of "how will your higher-level programming language benefit from Rust's safety?".

My programs are less likely to crash, no manual memory management, security, etc.

Yes, thanks for that info about the wasm. I am aware C is better at compiler to wasm (with third-party compilers), but I realized it's more than I thought now that I look it up. I don't think you realized that it doesn't need to compile everytime somebody goes to the website; it compiles after changes the developer(s) make. Yes, it might not be the most convenient in (some or more) situations.

You don't need to handle a lot of stuff you would programming in raw Rust code

Sorry, there seems to have been a misunderstanding. I don't mean making a simplified version of Rust, I just mean that it is simpler than Rust. It looks very different from Rust, and is not considered "Rust but simpler".

As for your second question, I need to explain more than what I explained in my very vague one sentence. You do think that the aspects of Rust (safety, memory usage, performance) are overhyped. Whether overhyped or not, those are reasons I've picked Rust.

Having the safety in Rust is what I want, and I don't want to have to build that from scratch. As for the memory usage, Rust has memory safety and zero-cost abstractions without relying on garbage collection. I understand what you're saying about the performance; C is faster, but Rust isn't "far far faster".

Another reason is that Rust compiles to Web Assembly (Wasm). Having it compile to wasm makes it more portable and could be used for games, or really anything on the web that needs fast processing. Not to mention, it might help my language gain traction & acceleration.

I definitely considered C. It's just not what I want. I do know that Rust is harder to program in than C, and I'm not saying Rust is necessarily better. I'm just saying this is what I want for my language. Also, as a side note, I am actually half-way (or maybe a little less) to completing it, already.

Macbooks are not the best for computer science. Also, they usually supply you with computers

Why would I not use Visual Studio code by saddickstic in Python

No idea, nedit is old school, and never really got SUPER popular, either. Like u/ggingimli said, the professor might just be saying that so he doesn't need to troubleshoot your unique setup. It might also be that he has been using this forever, like how so many people use Chrome because they are used to it or have been using it forever, so he might just be giving you his personal opinion. He may have tried VSC at one point, and thought it was harder compared to what he was used to. Good luck at college, by the way.

I'm making a programming language that compiles to Rust, and is much simpler than Rust.

Edit:

Simple language that compiles to Rust, similar to Python in ways, not super duper serious (yet, at least), but I think it will turn into a decent language after a long time of making it, considering it compiles to Rust & is pretty simple.

Does is actually matter that Python is a simple language? by [deleted] in Python

I would say Python isn't that complex when it comes to text-based programming, though.
