Blaming tools is rather dumb to me. That good software has been made with languages other than Rust proves that the issue is not the tool but rather the person using the tool. Additionally, claiming that a language’s compiler automatically solves an issue is actually just shifting trust from one’s self to someone else who is magically better because reasons.
- wakawaka28 3y agoWell, just because you can use a tool doesn't mean you should. It's not always about skill but rather whether the tool is appropriate. It may be possible to clean your floor with a toothbrush but that doesn't mean it is a worthwhile tool for doing so. If you're trying to kill a fly, perhaps the best tool for the job is not a baseball bat.
- hi-v-rocknroll 3y agoYes. It's a toolbox. And perhaps some people think different ways aligned with some tools over others. People come to tech from different backgrounds that are sometimes nontechnical, while some are highly academic and focused such as CS. Also, there are classes of tasks that some tools are better at than others.
