Rust (the language) hate thread

I feel like usage of Rust is being artificially pushed in Mozilla, Microsoft, Discord, Linux, etc.

Do you think it genuinely has a place in software development? Is it too late to fix its flaws? Why would someone prefer Rust to C++ or vice-versa?

Rust is a jeet language. Companies are moving to jeets for underpaid borderline slave labor only a retarded pajeet would work in to have aryan hardworking men saar! Retarded jeets can't learn how to actually code and so they are stuck needing training wheel languages that baby them.

It has a place in software development the same as any non C language. Either:

A) The companys employees are familiar with it (mostly trannys, look at PopOS as an example)
B) The companys trying to bleed actually smart employee that cost a lot of money in exchange for remote code monkeys that work for a few dollars an hour (every big tech giant)
 
Rust is a jeet language.
The jeet language is just a transitional form on the evolutionary pathway to AI language. They want something that's guaranteed not to crash if you just let the AI slop something together that kind-of works.

good luck doing that
also good luck making sure that the pointy-haired boss submitting his small-minded conceptions of what he thinks he wants the software to do will be accurately translated into a representation of what the program should actually do and that this is then accurately converted into something that doesn't have a logic error that ruins everything 6 years down the line in some weird edge case

we will see many jeet languages over the future. this one is just an overly complicated sluggishly compiling aot systems language that is supposedly much better than the other overly complicated sluggishly compiling aot systems language because the compiler will yell at you if you don't use references and raii containers at all times
jeets will eventually find ways to monumentally screw up while writing rust (they always do, remember how java was supposed to replace c++ in a lot of application development because it's hard to fuck up in it like people fuck up in c++?) and then rust will be one of those languages that everybody rightfully shits on because it's just as shitty as any of the other shitty programming languages that make our lives harder
 
I haven't seen anyone dropping this gem: https://github.com/Speykious/cve-rs
Blazingly 🔥 fast 🚀 memory vulnerabilities, written in 100% safe Rust. 🦀
However, if I understand correctly, it has been patched somewhen int late 2024.



I was looking through the CppCon catalog and found this lightning talk:

As you may notice, the titles do not match up: the talk is named "How I found time to learn Emacs", but is uploaded as "Rust programming in 5 minutes".
It should be quite obvious what happened; this fag viewed the Emacs-brained as viable prey and pulled a bait-and-switch on them, but the man uploading the video rightfully found that petty.
What is interesting is that he talks with no coherence whatsoever. He mentions 3 random topics, refuses to elaborate, then finishes his blazingly fast talk under less than half of what it was supposed last.

This meme is really remarkable, because there is not a single technical argument in the image. "Safety" put in quotes is the only remotely technical thing in there, otherwise it's all unrelated words. Moreover, the remaining OP merely makes fun of Rust programmers being trannies or something, again without offering any deeper critique of the language's design or anything related to the language itself. It's not like Rust is flawless, but if you want to convince anyone it has to be more than that. This is your brain if you consume /g/ (or similar places, communities, or media) all day.
