Ada = Boomer Rust <==> Rust = Millennial Ada
I can imagine Boomers laughing but the Rustaceans not seeing the humour in it at all. I could be wrong...
- sgt 2y agoMillennials are getting old though. When is Gen Z going to build a language? They probably won't though, because it's hard to ask an AI to build a brand new Ada for you.
