Rust

Rust is an extremely poor attempt at a politically motivated capitalist programming language and one of the prime examples of badly designed software in general. It is extremely harmful not just because of its awful design and implementation and motivation, it also promotes toxic politics, tries to replace relatively good languages such as C and, worst of all, is gaining popularity among highly unqualified coding monkeys, i.e. the majority of people creating technology nowadays, so it is infecting everything and contributing to the downfall of technology. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM RUST. If Middle Earth had programming, Rust would be used by Sauron. "SAFETY" is the main buzzword used to push Rust (see also shortcut thinking), however the true features and mainly retardation and fascism.

Some things exist solely to give a really bad example of how it shouldn't be done -- indeed, at least at this Rust succeeded.

It should be made clear that rust is shit AND CANNOT BE FIXED, it is awful from the ground up and the only way to deal with it is to delete it. To mention just a few issues:

• Rust is bloated as hell, it violates the most important philosophy in programming: the Unix philosophy, and tries to do everything at once (i.e. follow the Windows philosophy), following the spirit of latest cancer such as systemd. As such it sports TONS of dependencies even for trivial programs, its toolchains is huge, complex and complicated. The repo has FKN OVER 200 MB OF SOURCE CODE??? It probably doesn't have to be said it includes such unnecessary trash as generics, twisted object obsession ("traits"), package manager, pushed memory safety and whatnot. It itself depends on extreme bloat like Python, ninja, cmake etc. Apparently compiling rust even requires Internet connection to download some bootstrap shit? Even SJW littered places like permacomputing wiki are just forced to admit it's not a minimalist language by any stretch.
• It's just complete shit written, everyone complains it compiles slow as hell (both rust programs and rust itself), it creates HUGE binaries because it statically links all the dependencies and runtime environment LMAO.
• It's just badly designed as a language, taking the mainstream road of bringing in more complexity, shiny new paradigms and features, accumulating layers of abstraction, adding handholders, "safety" OCD etc., instead of rather taking as inspiration a good language such as C and trying to make it better by SIMPLIFYING it. Their vision is that of someone who just learned about computers and naturally wants to just ADD MORE STUFF because "bigger is better", completely ignoring experienced people who know from practice that actual improvement lies in simplification.
• Rust is corporate capitalist software sponsored by Big Tech, organizations and corporations like Mozilla and Micro$oft, trying to perpetuate the philosophy of "modern" anti-people technology rather than steering it in better direction. The Rust brand is trademarked and "protected" by corporations owning it. Remember, a corporation NEVER sponsors anything without trying to buy some control over that thing, "don't bite the hand that feeds you" is not just a phrase.
• It has licensing/freedom issues, specifically making it difficult to exercise freedom 3 (legally modify software), see e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20191224132425/https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:main:rusts_freedom_flaws and https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html (criticism by GNU itself). Its "open source" label is just openwashing, it is "open source" in the same way Android is open source (it has a "FOSS" license but it is de facto centrally controlled by some fascist group).
• Rust has no specification, it tries to discourage other implementations and as such greatly hurts basic principles of freedom. Lack of fixed specifications also creates update culture etc.
• Due to the above, Rust is not really a language, it is more of a "platform" or "software framework" for programs -- Rust is a programming language in the same sense in which Google App Store is a package manager. If it becomes the mainstream language, it will do to computer programs what e.g. Steam has done to video games.
• Rust is fascist tranny software -- not because it is written by trannsexuals, but because it sports political discrimination through codes of conduct and creating a de-facto monopoly on the language (with bloat monopoly, lack of specification, kicking people out of development based on their political views etc.). Its community is infamous for being extremely toxic and woke.
• Its selling point is supposed to be memory safety but that makes the language extremely slow. For fast programs safety has to be turned off but then you can just write in C, so there is no point to Rust -- definitely not as a replacement for C.
• It ridiculously tries to be a "handholding system language", i.e. an expert level language designed for beginners or incompetent people (of course with the obvious goal to empower women forced into tech etc.). Being written by pre-beginner level "coders", it sets goals such as "system language should tie your hands and prevent beginner mistakes". It's like trying to design a fighter jet around the idea that it will be operated by beginners and therefore e.g. removing fire buttons or limiting top speed so as to limit dangers posed by sitting an amateur pilot in a fighter jet.
• It is more than anything a political language trying to push propaganda, send messages about minorities in tech instead of creating good technology, and "fight" and destroy languages invented by straight white men -- the most popular activity of rust soydevs seems to be rewriting already existing, well established, tested and greatly optimized programs from scratch in rust. As such language it is mostly written by angry minorities such as girls and trannies who can't much into technology, hence the completely shit design and implementation.
• It aim for monopoly, it tries to displace good languages such as C and sadly, thanks to its populism and political appeal, is becoming popular among masses of coding monkeys who have no idea about technology. The goal of Rust is to become the Firefox of programming, Rust will do to programming what Firefox did to the web -- Firefox is """open source""" but that has no practical meaning, it's just an openwashing brand, it destroyed the web with bloat and by making it so extremely complex to make a web browser that no one else can do it, gaining a monopoly and control over the web, for the price of destroying it. Zoomers didn't see this happening, they were just born yesterday and can't see the patterns of history repeating, they will allow it and even help make it happen. { On no, I've heard they now literally pay people to rewrite existing stuff in Rust, it's not even a concealed conspiracy, they're openly doing it now? I didn't even wanna look up if it's true or not :D It literally makes me quite suicidal, not even kidding. ~drummyfish }
• It is completely unnecessary in the first place, a good low level language already exists: C. If anything, we need to improve C by making it simpler, but overcomplicated C also already exists for those who for some reason want to use a shit language: C++, and there are of course also slow and safe language well suited for beginners, such as Python. Rust is just flushing thousands of manhours (prolly rather soiboihours) down the toilet.
• Idiots (vast majority of people in technology) can't see why Rust presents a disaster for technology and so they don't protest it, some even "like" the language because it's spoonfed to them by Jewgle, so it is spreading like a cancer through millions and millions of Google slaves. You can't easily explain to a beginner programmer why Rust is an absolute disaster so that he will understand it just like you can't explain to a beginner chess player why a grandmaster chose a specific variation of an opening or why it's not a good idea to install Windows on your computer, a retard will not understand it, he will just install Windows because of "muh gaymes and everyone has windowz and everyone say it good", they will only consume keywords like "memory safety", "modern" and so on, they will never comprehend why minimalism is important.
• Also "rust", what a shitty name lol. Who comes up with these stupid names? Are they literal children? It's like someone literally picked the first word he could think of because spending 2 seconds to think about it would have been too much lol. Why do modern languages and libraries have to be called these shitty things like banana unicorn or hamburger kangaroo space shuttle and other childish shit like that. Maybe it's the womanization of tech?
• TODO: MORE, but you get the idea
