Ru$t (also known as Rust, Rustlang) is a general-purpose programming language emphasizing performance, type safety, and concurrency. (my ass)
it’s a type system cult
you can’t write hello world without the compiler breathing down your neck. oh you used a string? wrong string. oh you cloned? shouldn’t have cloned. oh you didn’t clone? why not clone? you spend 90% of your time fighting the borrow checker and 10% writing actual code. and then people act like this is a good thing.
the compiler is a sadist
the rust compiler doesn’t help you, it tests you. like some kind of dominatrix AI whispering “you’re not worthy yet” every time you hit build. “oh you wanted to mutate this variable across a thread safely?” hope you like writing a novel in lifetimes, traits, and Arc<Mutex<Option<Whatever>>> hell.
rustaceans are insufferable
every forum, every thread, every git issue, some rust fanboy is waiting to tell you how you’re Doing It Wrong™ and how you should be grateful to be beaten into submission by their beautiful language. they treat rust like a religion. a cargo cult, literally. you’re not writing code, you’re becoming enlightened.
it’s not fast, it’s just painful
people act like rust is magically fast. it’s not. it’s fast because it forces you to be a compiler engineer. writing low-level C is faster, simpler, and doesn’t require a doctorate in type theory. rust just makes you prove to the compiler that you’re worthy of touching memory.
“memory safety” is a cope
yeah, cool, no segfaults, but you’ll still write the same dumb logic errors like any other language. you just spent 8 hours fighting the borrow checker to end up with a program that still doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. but hey, at least it didn’t segfault, right? right??
it’s made by soydevs and trannies
have you seen rustconf? enough said. it’s all corporate techbros (or trannies) high on types and functional purity trying to reinvent C++ but with more steps.
alternatives for this garbage
- C: the king. simple, lean, does what you tell it to. gives you full control and doesn’t whine. the language of real programmers.
- Zig: unreadable fucking shit, but still, this garbage is better than Rust.
- V: nice idea, but still trying to grow up. cute syntax, but not battle-tested like C.
tldr: rust is a cargo cult masquerading as a systems language. it wastes your time and your sanity.
