Why never seeing a title “written by C” or Java or js
- tenox7 25d agoThe main feature of apps written in Rust is that they are written in Rust.
- dosisking 25d ago"It's not a feature, it's a bug"
- fortran77 25d agoI flag all these “written in Rust” posts.
- globalnode 25d agoits just ppl trying to be different from their boring parents. wish i had enough karma to flag them too but i keep getting downvoted into oblivion for making fun of written in rust posts
- GloriousCow 24d agoI am not the OP of this post, but they're just using my github description. when I first wrote it, Rust was a novel choice for an emulator, and it helped people find examples of emulators written in Rust. believe it or not I didn't tailor it for the HN meta
- pigeons 25d ago"Hax – a minimalist, terminal-native coding agent written in C" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49273175 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49273175 but I see your point.
- imhoguy 25d agoBecause nowadays "written in Rust" means "written by AI", as Java or C are not so sexy for LLMs /s
- ChickeNES 24d agoNot really true, I've had LLMs write hundreds of thousands of lines of C just fine, including stripping out Rust deps out of projects I use. :)
- pjmlp 25d agoBecause they predate HN, and aren't hip languages any longer. There was a time for CoffeeScript, PureScript, Elm, Ruby and whatever else you can think of. Naturally Lisp has to have monthly entries. /s
- teiferer 25d agoBecause their following is not cult-based. (To clarify: I like Rust. I use it every day. But this is going too far.)
- fukaiall 25d agoI believe a true engineer should love problems not only languages. But it seems like majority of Rust devs only love the language and try to convert all the problems into Rust problems. If you have problems in C/C++? Write Rust. If you have problems in Python? Use Rust. If you have an issue with your product? Rewrite it in Rust. Is your company in pinch? Launch a new product in Rust. If you burn your finger while you’re cooking? Write Rust. If you have a mental problem? Read a Rust book. You don’t have a girl friend? You have Rust next to you. If you hate yourself? Writing Rust will solve your life problems.
