C++ and JS are objectively shit languages from the pool of used languages.
What you quoted is one of the many COPEs Bjarne used in his lifetime. Because unlike JS people. who admit that JS is shit that was originally hastily put together, Bjarne needs the C++ bureaucracy, and the facade of superiority (even if it only lives in his own mind), to keep going because he has nothing else to show for.
Did you ask an LLM to write a comment full of cliches?
Good news. Thank you.
And it’s good to hear that it wasn’t something nefarious messing with the instance.
Or to avoid ad hominem accusations:
No code. Don’t Care.
And no benchmarks either. That intro about stack vs. heap also reads like someone who never went further than sophomore-level knowledge, or someone explaining things to kids.
Only looked at the Cargo.toml files.
Cargo.lock files, and using = dependency versions for Phoenix_Desktop, is a bit odd!People stopped taking Brian seriously when he helped create Go. That was pre-Rust.
Even the “talking points” here seem to be re-used from “Go vs. X” ones. Also, his experience speaks of someone who only tried Rust pre-v1.0.
Anyone who actually knows Rust, anti- or pro-, knows that what he said (partially in jest) is factually wrong.
Feel free to prove otherwise, especially the part about the performance of Rust programs. Don’t be surprised if he simply didn’t pass --release to cargo build, a common pitfall for someone in the “hello world” stage of trying Rust.
And this is why appeal to authority was never more fallacious, considering we live in a world where Dunning-Kruger is a universal reality.
What’s wrong with it
reqwest, which is what I expected you to immediately notice after I brought it into attention. You can obviously just remove it and use reqwest directly.reqwest with something malicious, or bad in some other way, in a v0.1.1 release. That (theoretical) release will be picked up after a cargo update call, or when Cargo.lock is not checked, which is the case by default with libraries.How did you find that crate?
Why do you think you need it?
Can you explain the rust-fetch dependency?
Why Peter Thiel though?
It was a (failed) joke about your user-name.
How much “vibe coding” is involved?
And are you Peter Thiel by any chance 😉
You are in a thread where a user is having a problem because of the push for flatpaks, and because of some distros like Fedora crippling their packages and providing objectively worse alternatives on purpose (because they don’t want to risk RH IBM getting sued). If the user was using some sane community distro like Arch, the user would have never come to realize that such unnecessary issues even exist.
As for flatpak hate specifically, see my ramblings here.
Users are better off using a “freeworld” ffmpeg package, or not using Fedora at all. The cisco decoder is shit.
your life will be better if you stop using both flatpaks and openh264.
If that book was about a million ways of how to just use atomics in Rust, then yes, that would be potentially bad. But SURPRISE SURPRISE, it’s not. As you can see for yourself.
Not sure what you were getting at there. Even hard C++ copers don’t attempt to argue against the fact that C++ is huge, and not only that, it’s the biggest language around by an easy margin (this can be roughly and superficially measured by comparing spec sizes).
It’s not the size, but rather everything on top of it, and contributing to it, from general incoherence to bad design to countless misfeatures, that require non-trivial argumentation.
