I've been watching hours of Rust programming streams. Looks like no one knows what they're doing. People depend on the compiler to fix their errors but can't write one line without getting an error.

You're watching the wrong people then.

@RememberMe Okay, that is a probability. Who do you recommend?

@rantsauce dunno. I don't watch streams. I hang out on the Rust discord server and I use it myself and I know people who use it.

I have seen similar things with this, in particular with Rust or Go, but in the defense of the people that I have seen doing this, normally the error is caught by the editor that they are using.

Compiler messages in Rust are absolutely amazing though, and one thing that I can say about rust, once the thing actually compiles and you have it running, it is pretty much guaranteed to work without no other issues, leaks, faults etc.

Like really, even something as user input, that thing will not let you fuck it up whatsoever. It will creep out and whisper "yo, you ain't checking for a mfker passing something other than an int in here, get it fixed, like this look"

The rust compiler scares me, I am pretty sure it is an AI

One of the languages I'm learning right now is Rust, because it seems people are loving it. I think the official book is really good enough that I didn't need to watch a video tutorial to learn.

I think the problem here is not Rust, it’s the people who stream their programming. Haven’t watched any in a while, but my general experience was that those people don’t know what they are doing, no matter the language. Maybe it is the extra pressure of streaming or maybe the streamers are newbs trying to validate their devness via internet points, who knows, but I’ve come to view programming streams as a waste of everyone’s time.

@volttide Yes, I started reading the book today.
