Rust written by AI is funny.

  1. Ask Claude to write something in rust, hoping for memory safe code

  2. Complain that some parts are slow

  3. Look inside and see a ton of uncontained unsafe code

I absolutely hate how LLMs love Rust. Though it goes from its very design of ensuring safety at compile time, but at least System76, one of the most prominent adopters of Rust in Linux communities, didn't join the dark side.

You don't need to learn Rust to be a femboy Linux twink.

I, for one, do not have any programming skills whatsoever.

To be honest I might opt for Go instead; I find Rust's syntax too noisy and hard to read.

Zig is a pretty easy adoption if you're good with C, it's another (imo, better) memory-safe "modernisation" like Rust is. It's not as mature as Rust yet, but it has C interop, and the Zig compiler is also a drop-in replacement for existing C code. Very nice language I must say.

The Syntax do be Lknda tricky, but its a great language with lots of great high level functionality. I can not really say anything about Go, since I never used or even read it.

Obviously the best reason is because of its really cool type system, especially enums with stuff in them and borrowing.

Doesn't Go belong to google?

Also, why do you want to learn programming? (It is nice and fun to code, but the choice of a language may depend on your aim too)

It doesn't "belong" to Google, but they are a major contributor.

I know why I want to program, and Go has everything I need to do that, and I also just quite like the language anyway.

You can leave them alone and when you come back, they have made a oddly specific tool. If they like you, it might be the oddly specific tool that you needed.

Don't get me wrong but pay attention to the android os stuff and ask yourself if it is applicable. Idk. I just wish you the best.

Yeah, I know, I don't trust Google as much as the next person; but I just don't think they can really do what they're doing with the AOSP to Go, I mean, Go is fully open-source, and doesn't depend on Google for anything really.

If Google did try to pull something with Go, the language would just be forked. But I frankly don't see what Google would get out of restricting Go. For a mobile operating system, it makes very good business sense, they can direct more users to their own app store to show them ads and get more revenue, but a programming language is a tool, not a commercial product (at least nowadways).

Yes, it makes your femboy twink run better, use less resources, and gives you more control over them. You can swap out different parts of them, play around, see what happens. You're no longer beholden to what Femboy Inc. says you can do with your femboy.

It definitely depends on what you want to do. For systems programming, HPC, embedded etc, Go is not an alternative to Rust. For webdev, I do get it, Go is much simpler.

I'm not sure they're even looking inside anymore, just asking Claude what's wrong.

Nah. Rust is challenging to write because Rust is challenging to learn. There are a lot of concepts that exist in few if any other programming languages that you have to get your head around before you can write really any nontrivial Rust code.

When I started learning Lua, I already knew Python and Java. It took me about a week to pick it up before I was writing proper coroutines. When I started learning Rust, I really struggled, for over a month -- Rust is a lot -- but then everything just kinda clicked, and I got it, and suddenly the borrow checker was a wind at my back instead of something I would do daily battle with.

I am a twink, but I think that is entirely orthogonal to me being good at Rust. Anyone can pick it up. You just have to be very patient and very eager to learn.

Also you get to call yourself a Ziguana, which is on par with Rustacean in terms of demonym coolness

I say "yes", with one exception: if they remove the offending code, the project (as a whole) is no longer tAInted.

And yeah; there are pure projects. NetBSD's kernel is currently untAInted, but some things in the project (like GCC) are.
