- jaredklewis 9y agoWelcome to HN lol. You’ve got it easy. Try being a front end dev, because as HN will tell you, none of us know anything about computer science, which is why we are wasting our lives making over engineered bloated shit. And we have a obsession with novelty, which is why all our technical decisions are based on what is currently fashionable. HN is not a very understanding place...

- peoplewindow 9y agoPeople do! But not as much with C++ because it's very rare to find a C++ developer who is genuinely in love with the language and is unaware of its faults.

To a lesser extent the same is true of Rustaceans - they tend to be well aware of the constraints of their language, and won't try to defend it or pump it outside of some specific use cases. Nor do the Rust designers who are fairly humble. Nobody should be calling Go users stupid. But they typically don't. At least not here. The language itself, on the other hand ...
