Well there’s your problem :P every language has bad code examples

Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it’s a good point overall:

Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it’s just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

In OP’s defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

“Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that.”

“Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT”

Did you inline all those types just to make it ugly? Normally each of those subtypes would have been in a separate typedef, each with documentation.

You’ve never done ecommerce logistics

I literally have. Go climb up a tree.

Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it’s old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.

Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It’s the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything’s 50% off.

In summary, a bunch of 60 year old C developers with social deficits hijacking the conversation when he gives a talk or tries to get anything done. E.g. the link was people interrupting a QA session to complaining “I don’t want to learn Rust”.

Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky

Blogger: “The entire country of China is doing this jenky thing!”

They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.
