AMP is also literally breaking internet. People share google.com/amp links,sometimes there'd be no preview and hard telling what the actual website being linked is.

It's a resource problem. The average website is in megabytes(that's expensive in emerging markets), loads lots of JavaScript on small devices draining battery. Even if we take Louis CK's standard, a lot of sites would take mo

Rust aims to be mainstream hence the effort to improve ergonomics and marketing,documentation. Or atleast safe systems programming to be mainstream.

I'd even prefer the golang way of error handling by `if err!= nil` over exceptions, treating errors as values is so much better

On mobile that's a big deal. But on the other hand jQuery unlike MVC/virtualdom frameworks loads asynchronously and adds behaviour to static html ie it's non blocking.

That's quote ,a library that generates code for you at compile time ,it takes code as input,has it's own syntax. It's like compile-time reflection. It's not code rust programmers would normally write, I'm one of tho

I don't understand why the downvotes , JS is one of the most target languages. Elm,GHJS(Haskell),Purescript,Clojurescript and supersets like Typescript which come with their own toolchains.

As rust developer from a higher-level languages , I really struggled with that ,then I discovered format!() macro ,maybe they should make it more visible to new developers.

Think as an author of a function that does something that can fail . the signature ;"fn risky_shtuff() -> Result<Response , Err)" Rust guarantees to you as the author who ever uses this function HAS to handle both cases (eve

Go promotes the pattern of dealing with errors ,which to be fair I think is an improvement on exception based handling. But rust compiler forces the user of a function to handle error .it's impossible to 'val ,_ = getValOrErr()&#

Isn't it common sense for a person who's been writing programs in a high level programming language to use a safe low level programming language.

I see it like; smart,disciplined programmers are capable of writing complex programs in dynamically typed languages without making as many errors.

It's was meant to be there , It's a feature ,Going for the option/maybe types would have been too much according to it's designers.

I have something similar , I've extended the http code by adding a extra digits,it's for business logic errors . So http 4000 is bad request , but in the business logic terms

Isn't Rust's biggest advantage is safety , I make websites with golang , I can't stand the nil-ness and all the mutation mess I easily get myself into, could use a safer type system. Sometimes you just need safety and correct

So slap an http api ? Building native apps is hard unless you are specialized , but puking up some html and json is easy ,hence building a blog is usually good for introduction.
