My boss sent me this and said that i should watch it before suggesting rust, However i think he should also watch it before he suggests the video :))

If I may add something more:
*The error messages are too helpful:* The error messages are too helpful, to the point where telling your boss you haven't managed to get any work done because you were trying to fix a compilation error is no longer a valid excuse.

[leahclarp]

really makes you feel like you're a hacker news subscriber

[veltedingel]

I got so incredibly mad and was about to write a 5 page essay debunking every single point until I realized it was a joke

[DarrienGlasser]

Truly amazing list. Makes me glad to work at my corporate Java job. Checking every argument for null and copying every argument object I pass into a function because it could be mutated and that wouldn't be good puts hair on your chest!

[JulioLabarca]

Also long-term exposure can lead to siderosis, a condition in which iron deposits build up in the lungs.

[SambodhiBhattacharyya]

I've been trying out this rust thing and have been appalled at it not letting me get a segmentation fault! This is some draconian oppression!

[razvancurpan]

I can't believe that someone finally adressed the fact that rust is a comunist language. Truly one of the lists of all time.

[FalconTheFries]

Job security is so real! I’m currently fixing bugs in Java that was written 20 years back! Imagine what would happen to developers like me and our families if they were written in rust

[SkegAudio]

Can't thank you enough for your bravery in bringing this to light!

[pioneer_]

This was so deadpan that I spent the first minute wondering if you were seriously saying that. Brilliantly done and absolutely hillarious.

[dorktales]

Great editing, great humour, great presentation. Best sub I've had in years

[kylehart]

If they were to add support for null (it's a basic feature, crazy that they haven't thought of adding it), make the compiler messages much more cryptic, make it dynamically typed, and make all data mutable by default I think I'd be able to love it more. But currently it lacks the appeal of writing completely unsafe programs and the fact that I have to *tell it* what type I want a variable to be is such a bother.

[MrSpoomples]

Honestly, leaving a like for that "Can't spell progress without 'ogre'" joke.

[emmavdev]

This was so great to watch! Finally, someone was brave enough to say something! Please keep up the great work!

[sortof]

I will give you one reason to use rust (TM).
1. Rust Foundation (TM)
- Best thing to happen to Rust (TM) since sliced bread.

[batatavoadora]

finally someone is brave enough to say things how they are

[gwennaneliezer]

You totally got me here 🤣🤣🤣 Dammit I didn't expect so much sarcasm 🤣
Also, as a Rustacean, I love your two sentences:
"I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of this constant barrage of propaganda about Rust. If you listen to them, it's the best thing since sliced bread."
Like, at this point, Rust propaganda even a meme, and seeing how it expands is quite funny.
Of course, whatever we say about any language, what's important is that for a new project, you take the language most suitable for it. Rust can simply not be the universal answer, that's why I see RIIR and Rust propaganda as a meme

[sprytnychomik]

Number 10 - zero memory safety vulnerabilities discovered because engineers are still trying to figure out why Rust code doesn't want to compile ; )

[oxey_]

I was actually pretty excited to see this from you but this is hilarious lmao
