@AstraKernel C# has nullable types for this exact reason... and we teach our devs to try/catch and fail silently, just in case. No language will prevent NRE's fully. So ending your 'truce' is pointless. Rust devs need to learn how to anticipate errors and handle them gracefully (yes, even

"no one really cares about doing something “right” anymore, which is why nothing feels or works “right” as a consequence" Story of my life, my friend....
it’s happening because of the corporate focus on profit and quantity instead of quality no one really cares about doing something “right” anymore, which is why nothing feels or works “right” as a consequence why waste time doing something well when you can just profit from it?

Prove it, or shaddup. Also, you threw an unhandle exception in prod over a null reference stuffed inside what is essentially an Option<T> (which failed to help you, lol): https://t.co/AsZ1SdYlzr If I did that as a C# dev, I'd have been fired immediately. Language debates are
When you have the C++ devs coming out to defend Rust, maybe it's time to actually read why the Cloudflare outage happened.

When I talk about C# on Linux, people just look at me funny.
when I talk about rust, random people call me regarded when I say something that's a little bit against rust, rust people call me regarded wft

This comment did NOT age well, @BrodieOnLinux
Does nobody see the irony in Rust discourse that Rust supporters primarily talk about the technical merits of the language but detractors focus on it being "woke", it being a "cult", etc, with very little actual technical discourse

@jdegoes This is incorrect. This is the developer stating "If this is not an ok value, panic the program". That is completely sensible in a remarkable number of scenarios. CLI tools especially where its really not an issue to paniic when something goes wrong

If you want to understand how deranged the median .NET developer is: have Claude vibe code a complete application end-to-end with minimal stylistic constraints and see what it comes up with. If you have any sort of good taste, you will be horrified

Your sacred cow crashed half the internet and lost billions of dollars PER HOUR. I'll say what I want about Rust. Your devs should know better - you pretend like you do, after all.
You are not allowed to give your hot take about unwrap() (or, programming) if you don't know what a partial function is.

Bingo. And the denial, copium and gaslighting didn't help either. Basically, and uncaught Null exception inside an Option (intentionally thrown, but not caught, if I remember/understand Google's explanation; if not, please send coffee). https://t.co/AsZ1SdYToZ
google.com
what's with the unwrap that crashed the internet? Explain the null reference issue like I'm five and don't understand rust (C# dev)
The .unwrap() didn't caused the outage, the inability to recover from it did.

Farming (maybe a rescue, but I don't like shots). I want to get away from the social media drama and deal with animals I actually care about and/or feed the few people I do care about. Leave the 'experts', 'knowitalls' and troublemakers of all kinds behind in the city where

Crazy how you didn't bother to read the entire thread (or investigate Brian's side) before spouting off.

Yeah, because companies really care about integer factorization and about whether their business is going to make money and feed their families. 🙄
“Fast AF”? 🤨 The only time I encountered C#, a certain fellow shared a benchmark that had to do with integer factorization in C#. I wanted to see how Common Lisp would fare with the same algorithm; SBCL produced significantly faster code. Now I wonder if SBCL is “fast AF”.
