I just don’t think it’s fair to tell somebody with over 20 years of experience with C++ that their decision to use C++ in their next project is a ‘fail’.

Learning a new language will probably not be faster than using one you’re already deeply familiar with.

I’m not sure why you’re asking me about the merits of C++ over rust, that wasn’t my point. I was simply advocating for personal choice.

Also, my first sentence was literally praising rust, but I guess I didn’t deepthroat it enough for you to notice? Presumably because you’ve taken the thought of somebody advocating for anything other than rust as a personal attack.

Rust is great, but anybody developing something should have the ability to choose whatever programming language they prefer. If you want it made with rust, make it yourself.

There once was a comment I read
it made me get up out of bed
In the toilet I peed
Til my bits start’ to bleed
And from that day I no longer read

Well I’m going to name my son Samantha, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Is it also child abuse to give your kid a name? My evil parents brainwashed me into believing I was a James.
