Just pointing out here that "rue" is used to express "to regret", emphatically. Perhaps it is not the best name for a programming language.

- 9rx 9mo agoThe best code is the code not written, so perhaps it is the best name for a programming language?
- steveklabnik 9mo agoThat’s part of the reason for the name! “Rust” also has negative interpretations as well. A “rue” is also a kind of flower, and a “rust” is a kind of fungus.
- dpflan 9mo agoFair enough! I do like how others are framing this is as "write less code" -- if Rue makes one think more and more about the code that finally makes it to the production, that can be a real win.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoSounds fitting to me. Every line of code I wrote that ultimately didn't need code to begin with, is basically codified regrets checked into git.
