Rust is a langauge which exists because colleges want to churn out programmers who do have not spent the requitisre 4 years required to learn C. I really think we need some sort of licensing for programming...
- kobebrookskC3 5y agoyeah, and that license should be revoked if you decide to use a memory unsafe language for code exposed to untrusted input
- sergiomattei 5y agoDidn't you hear? It's only programming if you use assembly. Use of a memory safe or high level language results in immediate revocation of the Programmer Card™.
- vp8989 5y agoAre you implying that Rust takes less time to "learn" (whatever that means) than C? Have you seen Rust?
- unrealhoang 5y agoRust does take less time to learn than C.
- Zababa 5y agoI think it's commonly accepted that it takes less time to write memory-safe code in Rust than in C. It's also commonly accepted that for stuff where you can leverage a lots of libraries and mostly write glue code, Rust is faster than C. It's up to you to evaluate if those are your goals or not.
- throwawayboise 5y agoColleges should not be churning out "programmers" with skills in one language. Trade schools would be better for that. In college I learned theory and algorithms, and was exposed to half a dozen programming languages at least. I mastered none of them, that wasn't the point.
