Yeah. I started as a C++ dev, fell in love with Go, then ended up on Rust.
Felt like a nice middle ground of “It’s got the types I need, but it feels good to dev on”
I really did enjoy using go for smaller projects though, would do so again.
Israel’s neighbors have tried to sweep them into the sea 3 times so far. I’d be pretty twitchy if it was me.
I think at some level you can’t really get both. The rust compiler is constantly being sped up, but the amount of checking it does simply takes time.
It’s the age old adage “The fastest code is the one that doesn’t exist”. The fastest compilation checks are the ones you don’t do.
So. Compile times?
I’m willing to have slower compile times for more stable software.
I see it as a realist view. Land has been exchanging hands since Sumer and Elam fought the first war in history.
Practically all land on earth has been contested, and isn’t inhabited by the original human group to walk to it.
It seems odd to draw the line between human nature and colonialism.
Anything won by military action is legitimately owned. Note all of human history
If someone participated in a war, we shouldn’t want them here.
Every single immigration form is trying to puzzle out if you are a member of a foreign military.
IDGAF if you worked with Hamas, ISIS, IDF, etc. You go to war, don’t expect to come here.
