On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).

On the other hand, when weighing one’s feelings against the common good, I guess it’s not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?

The.. programming community?

I might adopt Rust, I have no hard feelings against it, I just like not fighting with the compiler and having the fastest execution possible.

But hey, even Lemmy needs some hot takes to keep it lively.
