@@pau1phi11ips lol it's only if you're writing serious prose, then you put the period after the closing quotation mark; you don't write with strong diction when texting
@@carlpittenger wh, okay first, a youtube comment isn't "texting", second, how tf are you going to pull the "it's casual conversation, you don't need to follow strict syntactical rules" arugment, and then deadass use a semicolon? I'm 100% all for more people using semicolons but it's a pretty disjointed argument to say that "it's a different form of communication with less strict grammar/syntax, here's a casual semicolon". The reality is the only reason the punctuation before the semicolon rule took over was because it was easier, not because it was "more correct". It's a bit like how everyone says PEMDAS, but everyone uses PEJMDAS*. It's easier to hand-write if the punctuation comes before the quotes since there isn't as much of a back-and-forth. This, of course, doesn't apply when using a keyboard, so all that "writing punctuation a bit like this," does is make it more confusing to read since you're quoting something that wasn't actually said or is even representative of what might have been said. A quote is interpreted in isolation, and punctuation isn't a unary operator; it's designed to link distinct segments. So, if you interpret a quote in isolation, (as all quotes are) and you end it with a piece of punctuation that exists to link two things it's syntactically invalid. It's a bit like saying func(5+). Now, if that *_is_* noticably more convenient then fine, it's minor enough and most people will get your meaning so it's not a big issue, but that doesn't make it correct within the rules you've set out. It's a bit like -> in programming. (which I also despise because it's unclear and annoyingly unnecessary, but it's a similar concept that most people seem fine with. so I'll just take the L on that one... for now...) *J meaning juxtaposition, i.e. 5(8) = 40; It's also called implicit multiplication depending on who you ask. This rule is so steadfast and followed that even when the first few books were begining to rigidly define an order of operations a lot of them SAID they followed PEMDAS, but actually followed PEJMDAS if you looked at their equations and their answers. This I'd argue actually is meaningfully useful since it's nearly impossible to misinterpret it's use is so widespread and it reduces mental operator overload trying to parse out complicated expresions.
This whole thing seems to me like a powergrab - they want him out of the spot, so they can have someone else instead... but it's a programming language, not the government!

@@bluewave3050I'm a year in, still learning things but also way *way* happier with my results than I was with C (for embedded, 35 years) and now even surpassing my (25 years) Python development productivity. It was a tough learning curve but I don't regret it for moment. And the Rust "drama" is mostly ignorable.
The problem with Rust is that it doesn't have a sole (person or group) decision maker. Whatever people did not like about what happened with Turbo, at least there was no drama. DHH said no TypeScript. Community got pissed on him and his decision. People moved on. However, when it comes to Rust it always the foundation, the council, the community, etc so that there is always this collective feeling that we all should have a say in it and all opinions revolves around bureaucracy and "what's best for the community".
I actually agree. So much bullshit drama or bad decisions of many members of linux community was shutdown by Linus Torvalds. Someone like Linus Torvalds is needed.
I think the key here is that languages or frameworks can start out at the individual level, but should also adapt to the growing community needs by stepping down with institutions in place so that their invention outlives their inventors. DHH has always been the Rails' BDFL and many popular contributors moved on to other languages/frameworks in part because of it. e.g. Rust, Go, Elixir A good example of this kind of transition would be the original source of the BDFL title: Guido Van Rossum (Python). He stepped down of his BDFL title with no successor in favor of the Python Software Foundation.
And DHH being an often disagreeable BDFL had a side-effect of Rails not progressing as fast as it could've because of the exodus of both top contributors and in the core team members. Even Laravel, a framework heavily inspired by Rails, has outpaced Rails a bit in terms of feature set. In order for a BDFL setup to really work, the "benevolent" part often has to stay in place, else a fork or an exodus could happen.

LOL. giving tolnay the benefit of the doubt when he didn't come forward and apologize when everyone was apologizing 3 months ago (triplet, griffin, conf organizers, mara, etc) is absurd. he only made this gist after someone revealed this guy's name, if he actually felt bad about it he would have apologized right away.

Are the majority of people actually using Rust just regular people with zero interest in this stuff? Or is this kind of stuff enough to stop it getting more uptake?
@@Kane0123 the endless drama behind Rust makes me extremely hesitant to recommend it’s adoption for any project within my company, despite the technical benefits it may provide.

So many FOSS projects had their potential squandered due to the ceaseless bickering of neurotic individuals.... And I can't help to see Rust heading down that exact same path.

He even has a crate that is a simple array wrapper that is 90% comments in the code and he says that it will probably get into the core. Which as far as i know, is not something that ever happened. I dont even know why anyone would even want that in the core. So yeah, there is a good reason you have not heard of this person.
You know.... they would never appologize, never admit their mistakes... and are effectively the worst of the left authoritarianism there is. Seriously, the undertone about 'making sure that 3rd party crates don't get too popular, and that someone doesn't have control' when in this situation is earned by being useful and beneficial to coding & a project and structure... is kinda like 'If you do to good, we'll take steps against you'. Seriously though, This seemed like the end goal, to discredit someone & take their major packages, than attempt to look like the good guys... while the one who was targeted was basically gagged and mugged, and all the people doing things against him some how have the exact same story.... the exact same story. (Like you don't even get that from witnesses that are testifying against someone who held up a gas station). When stories start to appear as if the are identical and could legitimately be part of the same exact narrative & written by the same person with no deviations whatsoever..... That's when I start looking at what isn't be allowed to be talked about or said by those telling you 'how it was' & making assertions about what others said or are saying. Though I seriously got to ask this.... in what universe do people around a language library akin to c, c#, C++, java, etc.. like rust not think that cutting measurable time off of build projects from the language is not something that developers using that language would care about. You know the only People whom interact with your damn'd language to begin with. This seems targeted at him for reasons of being to prolific and just using the other reasons as an excuse. Like, the only other events i can think of that do this are in the form of hostile takeovers, and political smears against those whom were gaining to much power and not being handpicked by the 'council'? Frankly this is preventing me from even attempting to learn rust after my java modding ways. (Where I'm in game dev path myself, but I'll be honest making my own program to do what i need it to do isn't beyond my intent either, and if I would have to learn any of the real languages to do it... Rust would have been on that list as well)
It wasn't exactly as binary as "do you want shorter build times or not" - the complaints were about security, related regulatory requirements, and making such a big change in a patch(?) version, especially without any opt out. Binary cargo payloads are nothing new: plenty of crates have either opt in or out out binary crates.
Go is a pragmatic language created by a company to solve their problems, Rust is an elegant language trying to do things the correct way. Neither is wrong by themselves but it seems those aspects are reflected in the communities.

Now I know why I was skeptical. What if he had patent his software (or used a different license)?
As cool as serde is, it could be rebuilt from scratch in a couple of weeks without reference to the original source. Heck, you could get a simple version in a day. Nobody's *actually* being held hostage here, even without it being under an OSI license.
Woof, that was a lot. Like "reading the comment section on NextDoor". The OP was flinging out speculation-as-factual-assertion like they got the value box at Costco.
rusts community seems so full of people who thrive on this dramatic bullshit. it's such a weird phenomenon. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason they're gunning for David is that he's very good, far better than many of the others who desperately want to feel important (you know the type of people who elect themselves, and adopt titles but never contribute anything)...
You should learn a more established language like C/C++/Py/JS/Java/C# for your employment's sake. Companies have most of their years of legacy code in those languages and looking to hire devs to work on those the most. C was actually developed in structured academia by disciplined computer scientists to satisfy engineering specs and quality and established the industry. Nearly every language is derived from or backed in C/C++ or tries to do the same things better like Rust. Rust was a pet project that is growing into an unmanageable monster from what I see. If you are a student, first think about the types of things you want to program for your career and focus on those industries preferred languages. Rust IMO is a very poor choice as a first language since it can stump even senior devs that program in multiple languages and almost no companies have adopted it for anything consequential. I would say Python is a better starter language since it was originally made to teach programming and will remain useful as a secondary language and allow fast prototyping of ideas.
can never take Rust as a serious programming language choice given the wacko Rust community - kind of not so unexpected for something that was birthed into existence in the Mozzilla environs
Same. I kept hearing people say you have to check out Rust because it's awesome with a vibrant community with support. Maybe it's bad luck but most of my encounters I just saw drama and toxic people. The foundation sounds just as dysfunctional.

As far as I can tell, being active on both the user and internal forums and using the language and all these crates... this is all a bunch of babies complaining that have no impact on the actual language. The only actual impact here is that your builds could have been a little faster.
I have experienced exactly this. I remember a few years ago I was super excited to write Rust, I wanted to make a Vulkan game engine written in Rust. I then discovered AI and came back to that Rust idea for a while only to find conversations infested with zealots, crappy drama, rewrite-everything-in-rust-syndrome, "yOu aRe sTuPiD iF yOu uSe C++", and now every time I think about Rust the first thing that comes to mind is the cancerous community and the weird videos/tutorials surrounding it. Man, I just want a serious professional group of people I can rely on, which should be essential for something as important as Rust, but oh well.
Clearly that David dude needs to wash his hands of the whole thing and make even better packages and keep them to himself and people he trusts not to pass them out to the communists.
My god some people have way too much time on their hands. Alright so let's just make all these great crates closed source with paid licensing and see how that goes. I don't care, my work will pay for them no problem but let's see what all these edgelords on their moral high horse say then. Gosh
Minor critique here with calling it a "binary payload", I mean that just sounds malicious as *_HELL_* . Wasn't it literally just "I'm making this ship as a binary to dramatically reduce build times, you can use the source if you want but it'll be it's own thing"? Yes "binary payload" would technically be acurate, but if I was delivering baby formula to you and said "here's the chemical payload" what would *_you_* think was in the box I just handed you? Oh also, "period outside the quotation", I ain't quoting your punctuation FFS. The only reason internal punctuation took over is because when writing text by-hand if you put the punctuation outside of the quote then you either need to move forward, write it, then move back diagnonally, draw the quotes, then move back down/forward diagnonally enough tos kip over the punctuation to keep writing. Compared to writing the text, writing the punctuation, moving up, writing the quote, moving down and continuing. It's easier to write, that doesn't mean it makes any sense. Yes, I am fully willing to die on this hill, along with dying on the hill of PEJMDAS.
Not sure if they can just take those projects, I would assume they don't own the project name and etc. Probably the only legally clear options are a) forking or b) removing those packages or c) getting permission to transfer the IP
I honestly believe the last two dramas have been started by insiders of the rust foundation after a dumpster fire of policy changes that everyone hated. Classic “look what he/she did so you forget what we did”
In my mind, some of the drama makes sense, to the extent that the more you care about something, the more likely you are to freak out when you suspect that thing is under threat. And Rustlings are nothing if not hella passionate about the language, and consequently the ecosystem and community that surrounds it.

As a person capable of reason and empathy (you wouldn’t understand)…
Why does it feel like that a certain >someone< (Alonely0) has a personal grudge, there is nothing objective. They are trying to spew their opinion as facts and law.
Yep... we may need a legit fork and bring together the people who are really "about the technology". Maybe call it INOX and make it everything that the rust community/foundation right now is not.
You don't have these problems among C programmers because the language gatekeeps itself. The only people who use it are those that are comfortable with a little danger. Drama generally is propelled by people's innate desire to pay attention to things they view as being a threat, but C programmers are comfortable with existing in a dangerous environment and not making a big deal about it so there's no foothold for drama to latch on to. Compare this to Rust's primary selling point and you can easily see why the Rust community is so drama obsessed. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Also, C doesn't have a community. I am a C programmer, you are a C programmer, we are NOT a community. Cannot have those dramas if you don't have a community in the first place. Good for us and the peace of mind that we have that we don't have to deal with these sort of nonsense.
C scarcely ever changes or has any kind of centralised package management. There is basically nothing to fight about. One of the many benefits of software minimalism.
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 If you talk with a C programmer about C99 they'll go "by the way I don't like variable-length arrays because they're declared on the stack" and then move on with their life and continue not using variable-length arrays. That is the extent of C drama.
Very much the exception, she also has a very good team around her. The willingness to not compete with but rather leap frog intel was important to. (Lots of really smart moves made that make more sense looking back then at the time.)
Two choices: 1) use Rust and have to deal with drama that will harm it in the future. Wasting time on an unstable platform run by politics not common sense. 2) find a better alternative with no drama that is not being run by children. I would be insane to devote myself to this language when there are so many alternatives. Haskell maybe? Any other alternatives come to mind?
@@carlpittenger It is dumb, considering the closing quotation mark ends the quotation and the period ends the sentence using the quotation. In programming terms it's like writing "Hello World;"
This is going to make me sound like a dungeon nerd, but i think they did that back when the telegraph machine was invented and also WW2 when messaging. They didn't want parsers and computers to get confused with full stops. I am a HAM radio guy too, so putting the period inside the quotes removes the possibility that the message ends. I don't know....but I do think it has something to do with telecom messaging from the analog days. The USA never changed it. Tabs were also used, but now most programmings are expanding tabs to spacebars and it would cause all types of problems for a typewriter/teletype.
Potential clients sometimes ask me why I don't recommend Rust, and why I haven't learned Rust beyond a fairly basic level. This video provides the answer. Rust as a language has some neat ideas. Cargo as an "ecosystem" is a nightmare. Rust as a community is, well, _this_ .
In all seriousness, all these dramas are making me question if it's wise to even invest time into getting into RUST. Or if it will be sabotaged by its own community later.

The problem with Rust is that it doesn't have a sole (person or group) decision maker.
Whatever people did not like about what happened with Turbo, at least there was no drama.
DHH said no TypeScript.
Community got pissed on him and his decision.
People moved on.
However, when it comes to Rust it always the foundation, the council, the community, etc so that there is always this collective feeling that we all should have a say in it and all opinions revolves around bureaucracy and "what's best for the community".
I actually agree. So much bullshit drama or bad decisions of many members of linux community was shutdown by Linus Torvalds. Someone like Linus Torvalds is needed.
I think the key here is that languages or frameworks can start out at the individual level, but should also adapt to the growing community needs by stepping down with institutions in place so that their invention outlives their inventors.
DHH has always been the Rails' BDFL and many popular contributors moved on to other languages/frameworks in part because of it. e.g. Rust, Go, Elixir
A good example of this kind of transition would be the original source of the BDFL title: Guido Van Rossum (Python). He stepped down of his BDFL title with no successor in favor of the Python Software Foundation.
And DHH being an often disagreeable BDFL had a side-effect of Rails not progressing as fast as it could've because of the exodus of both top contributors and in the core team members.
Even Laravel, a framework heavily inspired by Rails, has outpaced Rails a bit in terms of feature set.
In order for a BDFL setup to really work, the "benevolent" part often has to stay in place, else a fork or an exodus could happen.

Something that I want to point out is the more level headed approach Prime had for this drama compared to that of the trademark one, is nice to see that he's trying to not stir up more drama and provides more thoughtful comments on the issue.

LOL. giving tolnay the benefit of the doubt when he didn't come forward and apologize when everyone was apologizing 3 months ago (triplet, griffin, conf organizers, mara, etc) is absurd. he only made this gist after someone revealed this guy's name, if he actually felt bad about it he would have apologized right away.

Are the majority of people actually using Rust just regular people with zero interest in this stuff? Or is this kind of stuff enough to stop it getting more uptake?
@@Kane0123 the endless drama behind Rust makes me extremely hesitant to recommend it’s adoption for any project within my company, despite the technical benefits it may provide. Our products have very long maintenance cycles and this sort of instability within the ecosystem makes the idea of maintaining (and growing) a project in it for a decade too risky.
@@Kane0123
been using rust daily for just about longer than a year now. great language. highly recommend.
i don't care about the foundation, i just care about the language. i follow the news about the language; aside from the entertainment we get from their interactions, they are just wasting time with all this bs. compile time is really important and it deserves much more time spent on improving it. would be cool if d.t. streams his talk on twitch+youtube. dont need a convention to do a talk
it's not the dorks. It's mostly the pronoun brigade with blue and purple hair who have infiltrated the upper echelons of the Rust foundation and moderation team.
The more people claim it is all about technology the less it is. Never fails.
This is so hard to bear, I would love to jump in that discussion, and instead of DTolnay, ask that alonely0 guy to step back instead.
Honestly if I were in their circle, that would be my only comment.
Quote from the dude himself in the thread after he got roasted multiple times "the thing is, in a week I won't have time in my life to deal with this crap, and it's not like I have that much time now. I've done my part, which was raising my points; thus, I'll see myself out, so I'm not the discussion topic anymore. Goodbye y'all. Do it right." IMO he was just trolling the whole way and got bored after.
Rust is bust. I spoke to management a week ago about moving some legacy c++ into Rust. The response: We don't trust the stewards of the language. Nope. We stick with c++.
great decision by management
A gradual refactor to modern C++ with unit tests is probably more feasible that a full rewrite from zero in a new language.
@@h2_ More like a decision based on gut feeling. The reality is that Rust won't be allowed to fail like that as major tech giants like MS, Google, Amazon etc already ship Rust software and invest in it. This is just online drama that will end as soon as the whiners get distracted by something else on Twitter.
Your management is stupid. It's in the windows and Linux kernels, rust isn't going anywhere.

Rust Foundation: "This is ours now!"
Five years later: "Why aren't there new crates being developed?"
Uhh, what? Nobody said anything like that at any point, let alone in this video, as far as I can tell.
@@SimonBuchanNz it’s alluded to in the article by “nicely” forcing someone to give up their work to the foundation.
@@FrankJonen but is alonely0 the foundation? Prime kinda skipped over who they even were, and I don't remember them from my time on IRLO (which I assume this is on)
@@SimonBuchanNz hence my comment. If it happens, that’s it for Rust’s future.
@@SimonBuchanNz alonely0's repo has a javascript password generator and a paper proposing "a new networking protocol" but no code, i think i dont need to explain further why is it that you dont know who alonely0 is. Because they are nobody. They just felt big for some reason and went and was bold enough to claim that they are some kind of community ambassador and spew a bunch of nonsense. He even has a crate that is a simple array wrapper that is 90% comments in the code and he says that it will probably get into the core. Which as far as i know, is not something that ever happened. I dont even know why anyone would even want that in the core. So yeah, there is a good reason you have not heard of this person.
You know.... they would never appologize, never admit their mistakes... and are effectively the worst of the left authoritarianism there is. Seriously, the undertone about 'making sure that 3rd party crates don't get too popular, and that someone doesn't have control' when in this situation is earned by being useful and beneficial to coding & a project and structure... is kinda like 'If you do to good, we'll take steps against you'.
Seriously though, This seemed like the end goal, to discredit someone & take their major packages, than attempt to look like the good guys... while the one who was targeted was basically gagged and mugged, and all the people doing things against him some how have the exact same story.... the exact same story. (Like you don't even get that from witnesses that are testifying against someone who held up a gas station).
When stories start to appear as if the are identical and could legitimately be part of the same exact narrative & written by the same person with no deviations whatsoever..... That's when I start looking at what isn't be allowed to be talked about or said by those telling you 'how it was' & making assertions about what others said or are saying.
Though I seriously got to ask this.... in what universe do people around a language library akin to c, c#, C++, java, etc.. like rust not think that cutting measurable time off of build projects from the language is not something that developers using that language would care about. You know the only People whom interact with your damn'd language to begin with. This seems targeted at him for reasons of being to prolific and just using the other reasons as an excuse. Like, the only other events i can think of that do this are in the form of hostile takeovers, and political smears against those whom were gaining to much power and not being handpicked by the 'council'?
Frankly this is preventing me from even attempting to learn rust after my java modding ways. (Where I'm in game dev path myself, but I'll be honest making my own program to do what i need it to do isn't beyond my intent either, and if I would have to learn any of the real languages to do it... Rust would have been on that list as well)
It wasn't exactly as binary as "do you want shorter build times or not" - the complaints were about security, related regulatory requirements, and making such a big change in a patch(?) version, especially without any opt out.
Binary cargo payloads are nothing new: plenty of crates have either opt in or out out binary crates.
Your use of the R in the thumbnail is probably illegal.

You should learn a more established language like C/C++/Py/JS/Java/C# for your employment's sake. Companies have most of their years of legacy code in those languages and looking to hire devs to work on those the most. C was actually developed in structured academia by disciplined computer scientists to satisfy engineering specs and quality and established the industry. Nearly every language is derived from or backed in C/C++ or tries to do the same things better like Rust. Rust was a pet project that is growing into an unmanageable monster from what I see.
If you are a student, first think about the types of things you want to program for your career and focus on those industries preferred languages. Rust IMO is a very poor choice as a first language since it can stump even senior devs that program in multiple languages and almost no companies have adopted it for anything consequential. I would say Python is a better starter language since it was originally made to teach programming and will remain useful as a secondary language and allow fast prototyping of ideas.
I don't even 'hello, world' in rust. I'm here only for the drama

can never take Rust as a serious programming language choice given the wacko Rust community - kind of not so unexpected for something that was birthed into existence in the Mozzilla environs

I have experienced exactly this. I remember a few years ago I was super excited to write Rust, I wanted to make a Vulkan game engine written in Rust. I then discovered AI and came back to that Rust idea for a while only to find conversations infested with zealots, crappy drama, rewrite-everything-in-rust-syndrome, "yOu aRe sTuPiD iF yOu uSe C++", and now every time I think about Rust the first thing that comes to mind is the cancerous community and the weird videos/tutorials surrounding it. Man, I just want a serious professional group of people I can rely on, which should be essential for something as important as Rust, but oh well.
I love Rust, but management just _needs_ to take the biggest chill pill.
the nice thing about a language that never receives updates is it doesn’t get any worse
Clearly that David dude needs to wash his hands of the whole thing and make even better packages and keep them to himself and people he trusts not to pass them out to the communists.

Oh so that is what Rust's logo was for: to let people use it each time a dRama occurs.
There will never be a last Rust drama.
Minor critique here with calling it a "binary payload", I mean that just sounds malicious as *_HELL_* . Wasn't it literally just "I'm making this ship as a binary to dramatically reduce build times, you can use the source if you want but it'll be it's own thing"? Yes "binary payload" would technically be acurate, but if I was delivering baby formula to you and said "here's the chemical payload" what would *_you_* think was in the box I just handed you?
Oh also, "period outside the quotation", I ain't quoting your punctuation FFS. The only reason internal punctuation took over is because when writing text by-hand if you put the punctuation outside of the quote then you either need to move forward, write it, then move back diagnonally, draw the quotes, then move back down/forward diagnonally enough tos kip over the punctuation to keep writing. Compared to writing the text, writing the punctuation, moving up, writing the quote, moving down and continuing. It's easier to write, that doesn't mean it makes any sense. Yes, I am fully willing to die on this hill, along with dying on the hill of PEJMDAS.

Not sure if they can just take those projects, I would assume they don't own the project name and etc. Probably the only legally clear options are a) forking or b) removing those packages or c) getting permission to transfer the IP
I honestly believe the last two dramas have been started by insiders of the rust foundation after a dumpster fire of policy changes that everyone hated. Classic “look what he/she did so you forget what we did”
Everyone just needs to chill, stop, breathe fresh air, touch grass, let go of the drama and let people improve
The "I have no enemies"-gen
In my mind, some of the drama makes sense, to the extent that the more you care about something, the more likely you are to freak out when you suspect that thing is under threat. And Rustlings are nothing if not hella passionate about the language, and consequently the ecosystem and community that surrounds it.
As a person capable of reason and empathy (you wouldn’t understand)…
Rust is great because it’s a great alternative for annoying people to use and stay away from the C and Haskell communities
Lol so true
Why does it feel like that a certain >someone< (Alonely0) has a personal grudge, there is nothing objective. They are trying to spew their opinion as facts and law.

Crablang exists
Wow these people who ask people to step down jeez. How high is their horse.
You don't have these problems among C programmers because the language gatekeeps itself. The only people who use it are those that are comfortable with a little danger. Drama generally is propelled by people's innate desire to pay attention to things they view as being a threat, but C programmers are comfortable with existing in a dangerous environment and not making a big deal about it so there's no foothold for drama to latch on to. Compare this to Rust's primary selling point and you can easily see why the Rust community is so drama obsessed.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Also, C doesn't have a community. I am a C programmer, you are a C programmer, we are NOT a community. Cannot have those dramas if you don't have a community in the first place. Good for us and the peace of mind that we have that we don't have to deal with these sort of nonsense.
@@arkeynserhayn8370 Another good point.
C scarcely ever changes or has any kind of centralised package management. There is basically nothing to fight about. One of the many benefits of software minimalism.
Then how do you explain the mess that is post-C98 hmmm?
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 If you talk with a C programmer about C99 they'll go "by the way I don't like variable-length arrays because they're declared on the stack" and then move on with their life and continue not using variable-length arrays. That is the extent of C drama.
Lisa Su seems like a damn good engineer who became a manager. But I guess that's a case of "the rare occurence confirms the rule"
Very much the exception, she also has a very good team around her. The willingness to not compete with but rather leap frog intel was important to. (Lots of really smart moves made that make more sense looking back then at the time.)
Two choices: 1) use Rust and have to deal with drama that will harm it in the future. Wasting time on an unstable platform run by politics not common sense.
2) find a better alternative with no drama that is not being run by children. I would be insane to devote myself to this language when there are so many alternatives. Haskell maybe? Any other alternatives come to mind?
Bullcrap. The period should have never been inside of the quotation marks. English is wrong and we should rebel.
i always thought that that convention was dumb
@@carlpittenger It is dumb, considering the closing quotation mark ends the quotation and the period ends the sentence using the quotation.
In programming terms it's like writing "Hello World;"
This is going to make me sound like a dungeon nerd, but i think they did that back when the telegraph machine was invented and also WW2 when messaging. They didn't want parsers and computers to get confused with full stops. I am a HAM radio guy too, so putting the period inside the quotes removes the possibility that the message ends. I don't know....but I do think it has something to do with telecom messaging from the analog days. The USA never changed it.
Tabs were also used, but now most programmings are expanding tabs to spacebars and it would cause all types of problems for a typewriter/teletype.
The people smart enough to not be politicians, will suffer from politicians less smart.

Rust + drama
Potential clients sometimes ask me why I don't recommend Rust, and why I haven't learned Rust beyond a fairly basic level. This video provides the answer.
Rust as a language has some neat ideas. Cargo as an "ecosystem" is a nightmare. Rust as a community is, well, _this_ .
I need a Rust history book. The battle of Serde.
In all seriousness, all these dramas are making me question if it's wise to even invest time into getting into RUST. Or if it will be sabotaged by its own community later.
12:40 I didn't realize you gained an English degree over the course of the past few months. It's inside the quotes because the sentence ended there. 11/10 video btw
