Why Rust is bad, actually*

*Disclaimer: This video is not meant to be taken seriously - the speaker doesn't really hold these views, in fact much the opposite. The slides were written by someone else, and not shown to the speaker beforehand!

In this Karaoke talk, one of the biggest Rust enjoyers at Warwick Uni is made to insult everything they hold dear - from the mascot Ferris, to the ecosystem, to the people who advocate for Rust...

Presented by Joey H, slides by Felix B and Brendan B.

Looking for something a little more serious? 🙂

I can tell you don't like Rust, because if you did, you'd have rewritten this presentation in Rust.

[BrunodeSouzaLino]

Now you're gonna be sued by The Rust Foundation because there's no disclaimer that you are not part of the foundation anywhere in the video and...you mentioned the word "Rust" several times without the proper trademark clearance.

[frittex]

Rust is truly one of the languages ever created.

[alexwright]

I hate rust so much, good to know that Joey understands this

[_Verac]

People claiming to be most liberal created the most tyrannical language ever.😆

[PvP_Darwinism]

I… don’t … what? Calling this video garbage would be disrespectful to garbage

[MurderByProxy]

you could say rust is a shitty as this presentation...

[szaszm_]

So this is basically a joke talk. Not bad, but I was hoping to learn about some actual criticism of Rust.

The problem with watching YouTube on my TV rather than a computer is the lack of disclaimer such as that above. To say I was baffled would be an understatement ... at least until I fired up a laptop so I could find out what on earth was going on. Right, off I go to start looking into GUI/TUI toolkits for Rust.

Rust is a nice language with a weird marketing. Borrow checker indeed helps, but community is constantly being hating C for not having the borrow checker, as if it is the only one way to do things.

[baxiry.]

I have used a lot of C and C Plus applications and have not experienced memory leaks.
I used two applications written in Rust. One of them was leaking memory

[cbbcbb]

There was once a version of Cobol that was optimized for writing operating systems. I do not know what optimizing is. But somebody did it to Cobol. Apparently, any programming language can be made to do anything that any other programming language can do. And it works, apparently, as well as any other.

Rust is the best programming language and there is no other low level language as good as it because rust has really cool features that I know very well because I am a programmer and I’m Linus Torvolds seventh ancestor and I think that rust is good because I know how it works because there are cool features which do things and other low level languages don’t have cool features that do things which is really sad and makes me sad and there are a lot of things I would much rather write in rust than the other languages like that C language or something but honestly speaking I know a lot about programming and can confidently say that rust is the best one as I’ve explained with my many examples and explanations about rust since I’m smart and stuff though there is a lot more to say because rust is just so good that you can’t stop talking about it and I can’t either and that’s why it’s so good rust is really really good like super good and you should use it dear viewer please use rust it is great and-

[tourdesource]

Rustaceans literally find this talk funny. I'd rather segfault.

[delicious_seabass]

I've never used Rust but everything I've heard about it, especially the community and RIIR, makes me hate it.

[ollicron]

Yeah I saw strings for the first time and was like WTF why are there so many options for it?!

[JodyBruchon]

*Rust: the solution for when you don't know how to type free()*

[NanMK_Old]

Lol. I thought actually* was a pointer

[RadoslavRobert]

I can affirm that even the serious lectures at Warwick maintain a similar level of excellence. I hope you don't have to go near the Social Science building, which has the appearance and odor reminiscent of a sanatorium.
