> they are at an absurd and grotesque scale in complexity I'm sure you can understand, though, that other people will prioritize different factors in the pros/cons of each language. For instance, as a dev that's well versed in type systems but with little experience of handling memory, Rust is basically golden compared to C or C++, because I can write code without fear, knowing that all of the discipline C/C++ devs is baked in a type system I'm used to. > I am just saying this is a less worse compromise In that sense, when comparing languages with different tradeoffs, people in different contexts will make different choices. A compromise is necessarily context-bound, and saying which compromise you promote is just another way to talk about your own context.
