What's with the rust community and terminals? I get that gui's are tedious in those languages, but surely you don't have to write everything in rust? Or has rust become the be-all-and-end-all for them?
- khurs 3mo agoYou can do GUI/web easily enough in Rust, but as this is DNS and so most users will be network/sysadmin types, their natural habitat is the terminal. Rust is taking over from C/C++ (as per US Government guidance on using more secure languages) and so is attracting the most hardcore programmers. Libraries for everything: https://crates.io https://crates.io p.s. stop being so grumpy!
- oksurerly 3mo ago> most hardcore programmers > Vibe-coded LOL. LMAO.
- khurs 3mo agoMicrosoft are using Rust for Windows and Azure Google are using Rust despite having developed GO SpaceX and NASA are using Rust for critical life and death systems. Cloudflare use Rust to obtain extreme high performance. And many, many more. Stop being a pain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
- bcjdjsndon 3mo ago> Stop being a pain They're always so emotional, rustaceans.
- bcjdjsndon 3mo ago> so most users will be network/sysadmin types, their natural habitat is the terminal. But we've moved beyond learning commands like a programmer just to operate a program.... Have some respect or at least sympathy for your users
- goodpoint 3mo agoThey are more easily sloppable.
- _joel 3mo agoI doubt that, but cool story bro'
