"Rush" really would have been a much better name for a new programming language than "Rust".

  It's like Go, but quicker.

  Rush sounds slapdash; rust sounds like long-lived structural ironwork.

    Inspiration phrasing right here. I completely agree. - a yaml programmer

    Rush, depending on the relative old-geezerishness or nerdiness (or both) of the reader, could sound highly technical and accomplished.
    • simondotau 4y ago
      Programming in Rush using the Rutsey framework is a highly progressive environment, but with a steep learning curve. Goes over most people’s heads.

        Go’s only over some people’s heads, depends on what you’re doing. I find it a great language for the working man.

          > I find it a great language for the working man. Yeah! That's what I am!

    You sound like someone with very poor taste in music.

      Nonsense, I have a wide variety of musical appreciation, spanning a wide gamut from Justin Bieber to Nickelback. When I’m feeling adventurous I’ll dare to experiment with deep cuts from the early years of recorded music, like Maroon 5 or Aqua. (Seriously though, Rush is music I can enjoy, though more a fan of Pink Floyd and Steven Wilson.)

        “I have a wide variety of musical appreciation, spanning a wide gamut from Justin Bieber to Nickelback” Was this intentionally ironic? I have a wide variety of wine appreciation, spanning a wide gamut from cheap white to cheap red”. Actually it is more of a wide variety of adjectives in my case. Super funny if on purpose.

          Experimenting with Maroon 5 gave it away for me.
          • simondotau 4y ago
            Though in my opinion Songs About Jane was, within the genre, a rather good album. It's unfairly maligned. I don't hate it.

          > “I have a wide variety of musical appreciation, spanning a wide gamut from Justin Bieber to Nickelback” > Was this intentionally ironic? I think the "seriously though" is a hint that yes this was sarcasm. > I have a wide variety of wine appreciation, spanning a wide gamut from cheap white to cheap red”. > Actually it is more of a wide variety of adjectives in my case. > Super funny if on purpose. Agree it gave me quite the chuckle.

    Rush sounds like an awesome Canadian rock band.

  Rash is the name of the Bash-like grammar in Racket

  I like Rust. I think mycology in general is seeing a renewed sense of interest. Might make Rust sound cooler to the kids :P

  But the language won't be finished until 2112.
  • LeFantome 4y ago
    I do not think people got it. Are you Canadian?
    • arp242 4y ago
      I have never even been to Canada. I don't think you need to be Canadian to have heard of one the most widely known prog rock records of all time.
