@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @twinspin6@outerheaven.club No, I don't like like Rust.

I have actually tried writing Rust at some point and I find the syntax quite cumbersome. I am also not very fond its package manager Cargo. And I especially don't like that if you want to do literally anything with a C library, which is of course very common if you want to write a useful program, you have to wrap almost everything in unsafe { } blocks which really defeats the purpose of Rust in the first place.

Rust also has various issues and limitations with reproducible builds, something GNU C already fixed in the 90s. Let's hope gccrs actually delivers.

And on top of that the Rust Foundation is a terrible organization in the way they enforce their trademarks and things like that.
