I really wish Rust projects would stop using the term "blazing speed". It is almost like a meme already. You can write slow code in Rust pretty easily, so speed

I really wish Rust projects would stop using the term "blazing speed". It is almost like a meme already. You can write slow code in Rust pretty easily, so speed is something extra.
And I am a Rust developer... Seeing this term makes me cringe every time.
- iknowstuff 2y agoIt is an actual intentional meme, not “almost like” one.

- akkad33 2y agoIf not a joke can you explain what is statically allocated rust
- hyperbrainer 2y agoMaybe it's a joke about how painful it _can_ be, to use `static` or `static mut`?
- SahAssar 2y agoIt's blazingly fast and made with love.
- graypegg 2y agoDitto for "type safety". This always feels like reaching for onnnne more feature on these project hype sites. "I don't expose the public API as Any!" feels about on the level of "has documentation"... which they also pitch as a feature.
- RestartKernel 2y agoI personally like to explicitly know beforehand if a JavaScript or Python package comes with type annotations, which is not a given.
- maleldil 2y agoThis is true. If I'm choosing a package to use, and among the options, there's one with annotations and one without, I'll use the one with annotations unless there's a glaring feature missing. A recent example was moving from tenacity to backoff for retrying.
