For a programming language that is definitely not a religion, this looks suspiciously like a church:#rustconf #rustlang

@kornel It always seems to me that Rust is defined by what it does not do. I want to get things done. Show me examples of how to do things in Rust, rather than examples of what not to do.I don't think C++ is very good, but at the end of the day engineers have problems to solve. Rust is not about solving problems, it is about avoiding problems.

@profdc9 @kornel I think it's about not solving problems by creating new ones which might bite you in the ass much later. Having the liberties of C and C++ is prone to introducing problems, but you can't prevent unwanted behaviour without introducing any overhead at all to cases when it's the intended behaviour — even in theory 🤷

@m0xee @profdc9 To be clear, my post is meant to be a joke. I don't endorse the us-vs-them language wars.

@kornel @profdc9Me neither! And I'm not even a devout crustacean, I just like to play the devil's advocate from time to time, but I do not do that to provoke people on purpose.
