@MaddieM4@raphus.social Oh god I had no idea that you meant rust, I was wondering what new thing had sprung up in my niche of programming that I hadn't heard of yet. Rust is cool, [imo] it's certainly more fun to write than C, which mostly comes from it's typing(I love me some interesting type systems). I also had no idea DHH was into rust, I thought he was a C/Ruby purist, so that's turning me off the language a bit.

@sackofbones@kolektiva.social Yeah, I've seen screenshots of DHH like "I hate writing Rust, but now that we have agents, I don't have to! They can rewrite everything in Rust for me! And the language keeps the bots from security issues. I don't look at code anymore." Which... is an appealing vision of the future for terrible people. (I personally dislike Rust, but my solution is to just use languages I like instead. I have critiques about the language, sure. But it's the evangelists where I have *complaints*!)
