     @kaia i remember in the day thinking it was cool and later despairing that it's not cool anymore but we're gonna be forced to use it :blobcatgooglynotlikethis:
     
     course, it would be another five years for that to become true.

     @icedquinn @kaia I really need to try it again, I only tried it very early on and it's a very different language now. I keep seeing people saying it's cool until you have a problem then it punishes you. but I heard the same thing about typescript and I love it

     /g/ makes it seem like it's a failing language due to inner conflict, but I only read that side.

     @kaia @icedquinn I don't think I'd trust /g/ but there's probably some truth in it.

     @icedquinn @kaia oh, if you have to change your code to make the borrow checker happy, then forget it. there's a few things like this in typescript around type narrowing where it's like...please god just make it recognize this. if rust is like that constantly, forget it.

     @Moon @kaia i like nim. it lets me partly abstract some things so the code is relatively legible when i'm done with it.
     
     rust reads like shit and is horrible to write. enjoy deeply nested match arms and having to deference multiple times because the borrow checker--while cool--is too stupid to realize you didn't actually break anything.

     @Moon @icedquinn @kaia Sometime in rust, you feel like you need a Ph.D. in computer science type systems. Then it just clicks and the PhD is no longer required.

     However, the borrow checker is a good idea. Even if you need to make it happy, what he asks makes sense and is usually source of bugs in other languages.

     @kaia that said i managed to avoid rust so far even though i am at one of the few work places actually using it.
     
     im just not a programmer in my free time....
