People hate rust because of its fences/training wheels, not because it’s “woke”
…actually I just saw someone in this very comment section ranting about “soydevs”, you’re not wrong. But there are valid complaints too! Some of us are just old and think our computers should do whatever we tell them up to and including “shit yourself and catch fire”
Oh no, I bet you there’s a fair few who think rust is woke and deeply connecting with programming socks --> it should be cancelled.
IMO it’s also an ideological fit for the current right wingers who connect Rust to progress and use progress as an insult. Since they can’t fight Rust on its merits, they have to make up whatever argument they can that fits their narrative.

I agree with this, but I think rust is fine here. It has unsafe as a keyword that let’s you do the breaking stuff, it just makes sure you know you’re doing something dangerous and makes it stand out for code reviewers
That’s why I prefer D’s approach for memory safety. Sure, it’s not as well featured as Rust’s, however it has “fat pointers”, three levels of safety, and kind of optional garbage collector.

The whole reason I use Linux is to shit myself and catch fire.
Fucking up is part of the fun. Y’all remember when computers used to be fun?
