This just can't be your answer to everything... the article clearly stated that they're developing a client application for browsers. Rust advocates like yourself are really doing more harm than good by ignoring real world constraints.
- koakuma-chan 10mo agoYou can use Rust to develop client application for browsers. Check out dioxus.
- regular_trash 10mo agoRust is an unergonomic language that slows development in the general case (because it has lots of arcane syntax and rules, and people generally don't know it). Suggesting it as the "obvious" choice ignores the tradeoffs that come with adopting it for a project.
- koakuma-chan 10mo agoYou can just hire people who know Rust. One Rust developer would likely end up more productive than ten Cursor baby sitters in the long run, and you would actually get a high quality app.
- wredcoll 10mo agoThis is like some kind of psy-op to get people to hate rust.
- koakuma-chan 10mo agoSure. Then good companies will be able to filter out people by only hiring those who know Rust.
- yakshaving_jgt 10mo agoI don’t think this kind of sanctimoniousness has much of a success rate as a marketing approach.
- koakuma-chan 10mo agoNo marketing can save humanity from its inevitable demise.
- yakshaving_jgt 10mo agoYeah but Rust can’t either.
- hansvm 10mo agoTo be fair, this particular issue wouldn't have happened in C, Python, Forth, Zig, or a host of other languages. String-based weirdness is something of a JS issue.
- cogman10 10mo agoThis particular issue looks to be pretty uniquely a javascript problem. I don't even think hyper flexible languages like Ruby would ultimately experience this sort of problem.
- mananaysiempre 10mo agoRuby can experience a similar problem[1], but that’s largely because its metaobject protocol draws no distinction between a read-only field and a zero-argument method. Python’s model does not have that issue (at the cost of significant complexity) and it is about as flexible as Ruby’s ultimately. (Python’s more rigid syntax is not relevant either way.)
