it satisfies the borrow checker or else it gets the hose again

If the borrow checker fails, the thing in their hand might throw some very effective error messages.

Rust and Bust.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago

I think that's just how every Rust developer learns Rust.

Am I dumb or what's up with the radio stuff on the left? 😅 Is rust common for some sort of radio programming?

The image was modified, I think the original said something like "we're gonna listen to Russian number stations on shortwave radio"

I'm still down.

I think the original text was about ham radio.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

And yet it's still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.

Check this guy out, doesn't even have any radio equipment in his IDE

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I mean, presumably there's a microcontroller in this radio. For programming that, your only real mainstream choices are C, C++ and Rust, since you can't have a language runtime without a filesystem.

But yeah, it's neither the case that Rust is overwhelmingly popular for that (C/C++ do stick around still), nor is it the only discipline where Rust shines.

Rust is to programming languages what a drunken orgy is to a night out.

That is to say, you have no idea where all these new tattoos came from have a head pounding migraine afterwards and some the hell how you learned how to use Rust as an end result.

So it's like slightly more responsible Python

But I'm scared of Monad transformers and lenses. Can't I just use elm? Elm is so perfect, so pure, so very very pure. And so pretty. And so robust. And so instantaneous to compile, and with such helpful error messages. Come to me, haskell programmer, you'll never want to leave. Never leave... Always elm.... Lovely lovely elm....

It's funny because it's true.
