  • This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It’s still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you’re right about the hype train hitting me. :)



  • What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

    Honestly it’s been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what’s popular. I’m excited about other programmers being excited.

    I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?










  • Transit is basically free in my city. Just look down on your luck and the drivers will wave you through. If they are running behind they will yell at you to “just get on” instead of paying because they care more about being on time than collecting $2.50 (minus credit card fees, minus admin fees, minus grift, minus whatever else).

    It seems to work okay. They crazy folks and (extremely) smelly folks would get refused service even if they had $2.50 so I don’t think that is a valid concern.
