I'm not converting, I'm just porting a good chunk of it for a slightly different purpose.
Not sure what's a red flag -- the original PHP utility has 17 million downloads and people are pretty happy with it.
- mustache_kimono 5y agoIt was a joke. It's great that people like your utility, and that you're trying Rust. The source of my amusement was -- I really, really don't see the world the same way as you do. I won't take your negatives point by point, but, for instance, familiarity and readability do really seem to be in the eye of the beholder, because, to my eyes, to call PHP concise and readable, especially as compared to Rust, is a spit take. PHP is emphatically not readable to me. Writing a 100KLOC project in PHP? Ugh. Yeah, you do you, but not this guy.
