Especially because the borrow checker is the point, the added value, of rust. With it it can ensure compile time memory safety, without it it is just another programming language.
His comment should be read as “I don’t get the borrow checker”.
Response of the Rust community: “lets vote him to oblivion”.
Response should be: what part of it is not clear, hand him reference material etc.
This was the same with scala (which has its userbase cut in 1/10th of what it is). Scala is now almost extinct.
I would hate for Rust to become the next Scala because it offers so much nice features (for me that is native binaries) among others.
I’ve had my share of response to honest questions which resulted in comments that I should be using language X, or that I have some nice term wrong (which does not relate to the problem I was experiencing), I am asking the wrong question and so on.
Luckily there also were helpful comments, which kept me in the Rust ecosystem.
The other behaviour is not productive and just makes Rust look like a niche, elite and too hard language.
Be nice to each other. It will only make Rust and its community stronger.
There are dozens of tutorials and books to get started with Rust. At this point no one’s writing this kind of comment in good faith. Especially in a community dedicated to Rust.
Yeah… I’ve written about this sensitivity before on Lemmy. :) I honestly think this platform is best for memes and agreeing with popular opinions. And that’s fine I guess.
I’m not sure what you’re expecting people to reply with when commenting that in a Rust community. People here tend to use and like Rust, so it’s a bit odd to make sarcastic remarks here about one of Rust’s biggest features and expect people to react well.
I don’t know, I guess I thought a rust community could have different opinions about Rust. I’m a bit older and I’m OK with people posting negative stuff about things I like without downvoting them. :)
I don’t have that need to push down opinions I don’t agree with. I guess I just don’t see myself as needing to do that. I don’t feel angered by that sort of stuff.
But you didn’t give your opinion. You made a low effort snarky comment about the most defining feature of the language. And then, you cry people are sensitive…
It’s fascinating to see you think that… I mean, it’s also a form of entertainment to realize that people like yourself overreact to things and have no idea that what they think is wrong. Anyway, have a good one. :)
Bait or not, I’m not sure why you’re getting such a negative reaction. People are getting too sensitive!
Btw, do sanitizers hurt your brain too?
It’s not because people are sensitive, it’s because Rust gets a lot of dumb criticism and people are tired of it.
Especially because the borrow checker is the point, the added value, of rust. With it it can ensure compile time memory safety, without it it is just another programming language.
It is just because people are sensitive. Period.

Nice troll

How do you measure an overreaction over text?
