Rust is more like: unless you can mathematically prove to me that this is equivalent to a nut there is no ducking way I’ll ever let you compiled this.

If you can make safe Rust segfault you’re doing something wrong.

IME Rust programs crash at about the same rate as other languages. “Rewrite everything in Rust” hasn’t made much of a difference for me, so far.

Rust programmers vastly overestimate how many bugs are caused by memory problems

Yeah. The verdict is still out on whether having a deeply surly compiler will help me focus on iterating and understanding the client’s needs.

I run Python CICD controls on main with at least the same level of prissiness (as Rust comes with), but at least Python knows how to shut up and let me prototype.

I’m currently not convinced that Rust’s opinionated design hits a useable long term sweet spot.

But I think if Rust adds a debug flag --fuck-off-i-need-to-try-something, it could genuinely become the next Python, and the world would be better for it.

Edit: And if I just missed the --fuck-off-i-need-to-try-something Rust flag, someone point me at it, and I’ll gladly give Rust another run.
