It always has to be some moral thing with you people. What's "wrong" is that software practitioners who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. It implies a lack of exposure to different parts of the field, and especially a lack of exposure to the theory. Someone who thinks Rust is an entirely new idea in computing probably has other massive gaps in their knowledge, and it follows the irrational pop culture this industry has cultivated where anything older than 18 months is bad, and anything newer than 18 months has never existed before and is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Some of us are tired of cleaning up after the inevitable messes these developers leave behind.
- woodruffw 2y agoWhat are you talking about? The “wrong” above is factual i.e. positive, not normative. Please be a little bit more charitable with how you read comments. The core observation here is that “Rust is completely novel” is not actually something that Rust practitioners, including junior engineers, actually say. Nobody has said it in this thread, and nobody has even provided a single example of somebody saying it.
