New Rust home page is up and relatively unchanged from beta
- hardwaresofton 8y agoWell, they made me look dumb[0] thinking that surely it wasn't the last version or they might respond to some of the points raised. This update is terrible. Why is WebAssembly one of the most prominent features? Why do you need a testimonials section? Why is there not code above the fold? Rust is a programming language. Why would you not give a glimpse of the language above the fold. This absolutely smacks of the kind of shenanigans and meaningless drivel all over the front-end startup world. Rust isn't some "product", and this is a generic product landing page for some generic product. > Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. What the fuck does that even mean??? C empowers everyone to build reliable and efficient software, by handing out footguns. Rust is interesting for very specific reasons, it's not the only way to build reliable and efficient software. Fuck this vague "everyone's on board" inclusive language too -- who is "everyone"? [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18566383 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18566383
- GolDDranks 8y agoThey actually responded many of the points raised: some are a bit subtle so they are hard to notice, but as a major example, the slogan "Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software" was changed from "The programming language that empowers everyone to become a systems programmer." The current one is arguably a lot better.
