Rust enjoyers are Crab People.

AKA the final stage of evolution

Everything ends with carcinization. It’s just evolution, bro.

>:(

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like:

I got a big bag of crabs here

Where is this guy that likes crabs alot on lemmy when we need him

They can’t have it. Because they don’t have a paying job

Because executives only need the application work on the PPT-level, and make it in two days. Modern software engineering is dead.

it’s worse than that; people who’ve never done it are empowered to make decisions on it.

Comments from other communities

“Hoomily homily hoppidee doo! Gabba glagga gobba goo! Fliminey flominy fobiddity foo!”

That’s how I’ll sound with a mouth full of crabs!

Is this a masochism thing?

All the other options are worse.

But, hummm…. Some people do use Rust for software where other languages are a better fit. But usually not in public. You see a lot of libraries helping people to use Rust in GUIs or web applications, but all the Rust rewrites people talk about are for stuff better done in Rust.

As the author of https://blog.fiberplane.com/blog/writing-redux-reducers-in-rust/ , I do feel offended. Very badly.

Oh, heavyweight Wasm is one of those things better written in Rust.

Intrinsically, one would expect there to be better options. But Wasm is difficult enough that people have been unable to port most tools. That will probably change at some point, but I would not stop anything to wait for that.

1:1 rewrites of ironed-out tools introduce bugs first. Not a fan of it. Better do a re-implementation of the original tools’ idea. For example, i quite like fd.

Rust users are informally called Rustaceans and there’s even a book for them:

Amusing but I still prefer formally call them the “rustic people”

How did you know I did that last week?
