Serious being what?
Most programmers are "lousy programmers" because most of the are not researchers and have no interest in theory.
I can write in Go or Rust (or anything else given some time) but I won't ever use Rust to write any kind of business logic for my company - and this is what I do most of the time I actually write code.
Why? Because Rust is terrible for the job (at least if we are talking about real life scenario where the job should be done in hours and not weeks)
- oneshtein 1y agoI can do business logic, like complex CRUD, in Rust much faster than in other languages. I assume, «lousy programmers» have problems with separation of concerns, which then cause problems with borrow checker, because developers need to perform different things in different ways on different parts of data structures (AKA «god object» anti-pattern).
- konart 1y ago> separation of concerns but this would be a problem almost anywhere, no? This has nothing to do with Rust vs Go vs Ruby or something else. Rust makes this even bigger problem, ok, but I don't think we should call people not using Rust (c\c++ etc) "lousy". PS: tbh this kind of statements usually (from my experience) come from people who mainly write system level software or work with hardware directly.
