experienced C++ programmers says "Rust is great but very young and still C++ is better for my use case".
Rust supporter replies "what makes you think you know better than us what it is better for you?"
Welcoming community, they said.

- B8MGHCBekDuRi 4y agoAre you sure? Read again > I optimize directly for the hardware I'm running on, which typically gives me 10-100x performance improvements. Controlling how memory is managed is critical. > What makes you think you can't control how memory is managed in Rust? > Arguably, Rust does make a number of memory layouts (self referential structs, per struct allocators, non thread local addresses, etc) much harder to accomplish than "typing unsafe". So basically, the right question would be "can you explain what you mean that Rust can't control how memory is managed"? Because the author knew, the Rust supporter didn't and confused "work in progress" with "I need it now because I'm using it now in production in my daily job"
- Shish2k 4y agoYup, I’ve read it again, and I’m still pretty sure that you’re responding mostly to your own assumptions and not really responding to what was written :)
