I Hate Rust | Prime Reacts

Let's Get Rusty - Officially approved by the Rust Foundation and Primeagen 💪

i learned rust only so that i can understand ThePrimeagen jokes

It was a little funny how he was like: C is known for it's simplicity. Meanwhile Go is known for being simple. 😂

The Bauer checker…guaranteed to solve your national disaster in under 24 hours

Rust's worst enemy is itself, especially the foundation

C is simple, UNIX is simple, Plan9 is simple, Golang is simple.... but very powerful. Those guys are/were real geniuses.

The thing that keeps me from using rust for personal projects is lifetimes and the resulting inflexibility due to not wanting to refactor a ton of lifetimes.

I am using rust for 2 years now in backend, really good safety wise, but hard to not make messy code, specially mocking and testing, also compile time hurts a lot, doing a quickfix where it takes 5 minutes for your project to run all tests locally, then 10 minutes to run the tests in the actions, and then 10 minutos to build and deploy hurts, but I'd say its less concerning than having to deal with a lot more bugs in production as we had and still have on our typescript services

Only half way through The Book and already loving Rust 🦀
