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.

  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.

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.

        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 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.

  Hmm, which programming language is Yes? That seems like a better pick. Actually maybe Yes is C++, in the sense that it is sort of a language that has had multiple iterations of every single component.

    …and you kinda need to have the chops of Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman or Chris Squire to perform in it. But ultimately Yes evolved (well, devolved) into making approachable, crowd-pleasing pop music in the 80s. C++ has arguably gotten more technical, complex and ambitious as time has gone on, and let’s face it, it is a lot darker than Yes. So King Crimson would have to be my vote for C++’ prog-rock spirit band. (Both are bands I really enjoy)

Rush sounds like an awesome Canadian rock band.
