Yea yea we know. You changed the privacy policy to sell data. Many of us are just belaboring switching browsers. Some of us already have. Good riddance to what was once a great company.

Saying rust is unusable is pretty extreme. Tons of serious applications and infrastructure have been using it in production for years generating lots of money and preventing CVEs. Leaking memory is sometimes not a huge issue. Missile alloca

Asking a compiler to understand a programmers intent for underspecified mutability is beyond the halting problem.

Also those are two different skill sets. Writing critical sections of an OS is not the same thing as writing a compiler. And completely agree, windows to what I have read, is being deliberate and isn't doing a total rewrite at all. Tha

I'm not saying this to start a language war but. Look at the cognitive complexity and tooling complexity involved in a c# project. Seriously, every speed bump you hit in your ide think about how many pieces of knowledge you assemble to

I can see the appeal. Not having to write C# style oop probably gave the team a huge productivity boost. I bet it compiles hundreds of times faster making the team, cicd, and dev efforts substantially more productive. Cohesive integrated mo

The compiler ensures you are writing memory safe code. Otherwise it rejects that code and helps you see the mistake you made. Why people are so upset when the compiler prevents them from building and shipping unusable code will always baffl

Not sure when your friend tried Go but for the last 5-10 years or so go has been really easy to make REST services. It's practically baked into the language but if you want it even easier there are several extremely popular libraries f
