A few years ago everyone was trying to kill Rails. Now apparently everyone wants to kill Rust. What do you think it would take to dethrone this nigh-invincible language that the entire industry has been using for years and that people are getting hired to write code in? Personally I am waiting for a language called WD-40.

I thought rust killed itself?

All these languages are irrelevant, less they run on JavaScript.

>>1 Who wants to kill Rust? C++ just can't. Haskell, Scala, and Idris all need GC. Clojure and Go are unsafe and need GC. Yaron Minsky was impressed with Rust and I haven't heard from Leroy, but I doubt OCaml wants to kill Rust.
Your post is wrong and crap and you should be ashamed.

>>6 It's not wrong. An old design decision prevented it from ever being given real backing from potential users. So it's like saying that Pascal is readable. It's true but it's also beside the point, because Pascal will never have a niche among developers.

Symta: X = "['Hello'] ['World']!"
Rust: let x = ~"Hello" + @" " + &"World" + "!";

>>4 I have yet to see a real product in rust that does not need GC.
>>8 Well, that's a new low for rust. Getting beaten up by symta like this.

I like the core idea of Rust (concurrent memory safety without garbage collection through the borrow system), but the language is kind of shockingly ugly and convoluted for something that hasn't even reached ``1.0 status'' yet. I'm hoping someone will make the Scheme to Rust's Common Lisp one of these days.
Programmers and managers have different goals and mindset. They get paid for different things.
Manager promotes team achievements as his own and team failures as failures of individual members. Programmer does job done, listening to manager, yet ignoring all his bullshit.
A decent programmer would never get promoted to a manager, because then there will be no one to work done. Moreover, to get promotion you need to have good social skills and do a lot of cocksucking, instead of real work. Good programmers lack social skills.
