    At least it won’t be like that infamous Hungarian teacher

    cw: awful human being making awful analogies

    There was some engineering professor in Hungary, who was convinced rape did not exist and women just made up to control men, and used a shot glass to prove it, by asking his students to try to put their fingers into it while moving it around quickly. Allegedly, just before he got fired, someone took a toy gun in for that analogy, then his head got red and stopped his analogy.








  • If only there were a few alternatives to Rust for system development with a syntax that isn’t a marriage of flesh between OCaml and C. Unfortunately none exists, because if I say otherwise, rustacerans will accuse me of “FUDposting”, and some will even try to dig up some dirt about me, to ruin my life and to ultimately force me off the web, because shame is good, except if they’re the target of said shame.

    So we’re left with a language that:

    • Was marketed as a functional programming language until people started to “FUDpost” about how functional programming has its own issues (optimization, etc.), so the Rust team quickly tried to course correct and market it as a “multi paradigm” language. It is “FUD” if you ask why it’s still const by default. If only Oracle found out about this tactic, to market Java as a “multi paradigm programming language”, because you can just “opt out from OOP aspects”, then tell its usiers that “packaging classes are just good practice”.
    • Makes many optimizations very ugly if not impossible.
    • Makes memory unsafe operations ugly, to “disintensivise the programmer from them”.
    • Has a pretty toxic userbase, which is only being called out by Lunduke-style toxic morons with anti-woke brainrot, and for the wrong reasons. No, the problem isn’t that many people in the Rust community are often trans, and that the code of conduct aren’t a selection of Bible-verses, but that a portion of Rust users weaponize callouts, with this callout weaponization actually coming from 4chan and other sites that pioneered networked harassment.
