Then the point is hypocritical.
Runtimes for safe programming languages have been implemented in unsafe languages since the dawn of safe programming languages, basically.
EDIT: I see now that you are the cigarette warning guy. In that case I don’t understand what this coy “I think” speculation is about when you made such a bizarre proclamation on this topic.
- medo-bear 2y agoYour tendency to answer jokes so seriously is a symptom of the hype
- keybored 2y agoMe being humorless (read: not just rolling with your cop-out) is a symptom of the Rust hype. Doesn’t even make sense.
- medo-bear 2y agoyou feeling the need to defend it at every jibe. chill. rust is not a cult
- keybored 2y agoA jibe is some sort of playful banter based on a literal or exaggerated truth. Since your comment does not lampoon any real deficiency except when being hypocritical, there is nothing to defend. Maybe you should wear a sign on your torso: will make irrational points and then complain about persecution when that is pointed out. I don’t know. It’s just one more idea for when we decide to put all the anti-Rust people in camps.
- mardifoufs 2y agoIt's weird to imagine for cniles but discussing a language doesn't inherently involve defending it, especially when it's just someone correcting someone else. I know, that's a very weird concept :^)
- medo-bear 2y agoCorrecting what though ?
- jeltz 2y agoYour irrational hate for a programming language adds nothing to the discussion.
- medo-bear 2y agoso many powerful words lol
