Totally agree. SWE is the only field where people can call them "Engineers" without having an actual engineering degree.

That's not true. Operating systems don't know if a process is a browser.

NOT washing hands is important too. Letting a little bit of bacteria into your body strengthens the immune system. It is important to sometimes let your kids pick up food from the floor and eat it.

If by "write kernel/bare-metal level code" you mean blinking an LED, sure. Writing low level doesn't have to do anything with C or any language for that matter. It requires a deep understanding of the architecture that y

I have an anecdote to share. I work in embedded space for a living. A web developer (which is quite funny) from another team somehow convinced our director to use Rust for a critical process that involved a lot of concurrent processing. Ok,

Please stop spreading misinformation outside Twitter, where Indian media is basically rampant, to communities like HN.

Perfect usage of the title to get on HN frontpage.

The reasoning of the author is totally flawed. If you feel like a noob locally, there is no guarantee that you will not feel like a noob globally too. In other words, it's not always good to feel like a noob.

Does anyone know how StackOverflow measures "love" towards a language?

Congratulations. You have succesfully regurgitated the same sentence I've read here a thousand times.

No. I'd rather learn how to use my tools (that I have invested years to be comfortable with) properly than starting over.

Mozilla doesn't need employees when it has so many people white-knighting it on the internet.

I'm not entertaining any new browsers that aren't written in Rust.

I can say that for every language on earth. C is the best of the alternatives in a lot of areas. And yes, C++ is almost always a bad alternative to C.

I wish there was a way to PM on HN, atleast for mods to HN users. I mean no offense, but public humiliation isn’t useful most of the times.

Please don't comment on the state of programming in 2019 if you're an Angular developer.

The language itself is pretty good for systems programming. It's the lack of tooling (as compared to C) that renders it unsuitable for any real world systems programming projects.

You can "accidentally" do a lot of things that any compiler in the world won't warn you about. This isn't an excuse to not use a good library/tool.

You have a problem that you will never be able to resolve, even if you are making $1m per year. Learn to be satisfied with what you have.

I'd pay for something that filters out front-page titles with specific words in them.

Can Rust's async even work on an Arduino or any bare-metal system?
