- koakuma-chan 2y agoThere are two categories of people who don’t like Rust: 1. C/C++ developers who are used to C/C++ and don’t want to learn Rust. 2. Go developers who claim Rust is too difficult and unreadable. Which one is you?
- ryao 2y agoI know a guy who used to love Rust and his cannot stand it. The hype wore off in his case.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoDoes he prefer fighting libtool, make, cmake, configure, automake, autoconf and autoreconf just to add a couple libraries into his project? When I tried to use C, I wrote 10 lines of code and spent hours trying to make all that shit work. It makes me laugh when people say Rust is complicated.
- ryao 2y agoIt really is not that complicated. You just use -llibrary when linking and it links.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoOh I never realized I was supposed to install -dev packages, I thought I had to compile myself.
- ryao 2y agoWhether you need -dev packages (for headers) depends on your operating system. I run Gentoo. All headers are always on the system. Other distributions ship the headers separately in -dev packages to save space and you need to install them. You likely can install all -dev packages for everything on your system so you do not need to get the individual ones.
- ryao 2y agoAutocorrect seems to have made a typo worse here. It was supposed to be now, not his.
- uecker 2y agoI think the "don't want to learn" is a very poor argument. I learn stuff every day, but I want want to decide myself what I learn to solve my problems, not because Rust folks think everybody has to learn Rust now. I learned a bit of Rust out of curiosity, but not so much I could do a lot with it. I do not want to learn more, because I think the language has severe flaws and and much less suitable than C for my use cases.
