language popularity can change pretty quickly

according to the tiobe index, in 1985, lisp was the 2nd most popular programming language and c++ was the 10th. fast-forward 5 years and c++ took the 2nd place, while lisp fell down to 7th place. i wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened between c++ and rust

as someone who used to develop a cross-platform (linux and windows) desktop application: the bulk of development took place on linux. i only ever booted to windows to build the app and make windows-exclusive adjustments, but never to actually develop any features

i would strongly disagree with that characterization of both fp and oo. classifying rust as oo weakens it imo, and the fact that you can easily solve all the problems oo solves in rust, as your linked document shows, is not proof rust is oo, but rather that oo is unnecessary to solve those problems

object orientation is classes done wrong. typeclasses (and traits) are classes done right

traits aren’t oop. they’re closer to haskell’s typeclasses than anything else

rust is leans more towards data oriented design than functional programming imo

maybe it has to do with the lack of parens in the method calls and the chaining of method calls. this would be the ruby equivalent of the script:

puts 'Hello, World!'
# -> Hello, World!

def square(n) n*n end

[2, 4, 6, 8].map(&:square)
# -> [4, 16, 36, 64]

# another option
[2, 4, 6, 8].map{|n| n*n}

print 'Hello, World!'
# -> Hello, World!

square = |n| n * n
'8 squared is {square 8}'
# -> 8 squared is 64

(2, 4, 6, 8)
  .each square
  .to_list()
# -> [4, 16, 36, 64]

it might be just me, but, from the code snippet, it feels a lot like ruby

instantly reminded of “you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?”

also, 50 years from now, your kids will ask you about zio israel the same way people today ask about nazi germany and you’ll lie in shame

bye bye

it’s not offtopic. you defended the current-day equivalent of nazi germany and got rightfully banned for it. deal with it

how about not defending a terrorist state? maybe you should ask what israel could do to end the violence since it was the one to start it, not hamas

enjoy your ban

good luck outpacing the flagship instance

the software was created by marxist-leninists. maybe deal with it?

what

rust is a systems/low overhead programming language. really not much of a point comparing js/ts and rust, since js is much higher level. you should be comparing it with c, c++, zig, maybe nim, etc

you also imply it’s pointless to have a language geared towards performance because computers are better now, but 1) programs run on more than just personal computers and you wouldn’t run js in an embedded system and 2) just because your computer can put up with poor performance and resource waste doesn’t mean that it’s sensible to do so (hello electron)

also, rust does more than just cosmetic improvements. it adds a layer of statically guaranteed memory safety that no other commercially viable programming language that i know of has. even if its syntax looked like ancient eldritch runes, it would still be an attractive language. the fact that it manages to do more than other languages while still having a decent syntax is amazing

you can dislike rust if you want that’s fine but you don’t need to try to shit on it just bc it’s not your cup of tea
