After years and years of webdev I've decided that I need a change of pace. This time I want to manage memory myself like all other big boys. As a web developer I've naturally searched for newest, hottest tech and discovered rust.
On one side it has a lower barrier to entry than C++ - it's smaller, doesn't suffer from having several standards and probably has a vision behind its design.
But on the other its community seems to have a bit of SJW infestation and that's not something I want to deal with in open-source project. It's even worse because their crate infrastructure is centralized and managed by same people.
So how bad is it? Should I expect to see Rust project going down the drain in a couple of years because of political grandstanding?
I know I should. Just need a critical amount of segmentation fault errors to muster the bravery.

I've wondered about something similar myself, seems like a hard call. The idea seems good, the implementation is controversial, the community is cancer.
All in all the two negatives does that I'm holding off on Rust. I'd say go with something else and give it a couple of years to see if it crashes.
Charles Smith
yeah it's bretty good

It's about fucking time. > As a web developer I've naturally searched for newest, hottest tech AKA trash AKA SJW trash it's totally SJW don't go further than that. It's simple every project that's has a COC is either manipulated or leaded by SJWs. If you want something that has similar objectives to rust try D. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language) Otherwise if you want to learn non-webdev programing, SICP is a must. mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html Remember that SJW ideology is insidious. It comes with good intentions and nice looking people but will use despicable ways and totalitarian power to BTFO anyone who opposed them. The SJW ideology is very close to cultist behavior see: youtube.com/watch?v=EBK5aKOr2Fw
d is not really an alternative to rust. rust achieves memory safety without gc.

C has an even lower barrier to entry. C has the lowest barriers to entry. C is very mature, it's simple, and it's the best for systems programming. If you want to become something other than a pajeet street-shitter webdev: you will learn C, you will learn data structures, and you will learn algorithm design. If you don't walk out of 1 to 2 years of self study knowing why O(lg(n)) is better than O(n), O(n^k), and O(2^n) then I don't know you must have went to Depression Quest University or something.
c is not simple. c is a total clusterfuck of bad design decisions.

C is a stack and pointer machine in language form. Its simplicity allows one much freedom, including the freedom to creative blow one's foot off.

port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.html ok i just read the spec and wow. c is so simple and just woooow. im blown away by its minimal design. im a #cmissile now
Levi Flores
C is absolutely fine, but I doubt that there is a way to be productive outside of certain domains like driver development.
Landon Lewis
The fact that you can read the spec in a sitting is proof that it is pretty minimalist.
Evan Cruz
doc.rust-lang.org/reference/ wooooooow. i can read it in s single sitting. how minimalistic. im a #rustmissile now
C makes sense to the people who should be using C. The standards are large because of the problem they're trying to solve: a portable assembly language. There haven't been a lot of major wrong turns with it, either. Other than for some "it was considered good at the time" stuff, the wide character functions are the only large chunk that was just total dogshit.

Is such a culture even desired by you or anyone else? Shouldn't intelligent conversations be carried to grow as a community instead of making pointless comments?
Leo Moore
Well, I for one am.
Gavin Allen
My problem domain has performance first and safety reasonably as a third or fourth most important thing. What you want is of no consequence and if you cant see this perhaps you should submit to your own kys memes.
Robert Flores
I actually am. I do networking. I know there's at least one other user here that does low level development in industry as I've run into him in threads before. And there's C64 user, too.

The selling point of Rust is that is that you get memory safety without GC. However, it takes a while to get used to. Programming celebrity Eric S Raymond found Go far easier to get started with than Rust.
