      I hope you're joking. This mindset has had terrible consequences, such macho bullshit needs to go.

      The Zionazis will find your mistakes before you do. So have the computer check your work as much as possible.

        I am mostly joking but rust is quite annoying and is only useful in very specific circumstances. I'm not against encouraging people to use better designed languages than C though

          huh? about the only place I can't use rust is on microcontrollers, and it's kind of a pain in the dick on mobile (just use kotlin lol)

            Most rust programmers don't know how to implement a linked list

            Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. For application code, it's almost always better to use a language with garbage collection, in order to get memory safety without undue ceremony. Yes, some gc-ed languages are slow (Python, Ruby), but others are quite fast (JVM, .NET, Common Lisp, Haskell).
