When a Rust programmer detects a bug in your software.

@horus rewrite only the messy part, host it as a worker service, then invoke it from php?

just don't do it in rust.

There's also self-preservation...

I am a C++ programmer primarily. I say this because I am a troll.

The push for Rust in everything from all directions feels fake and plastic in a way that's hard to explain. Almost like it's a forced meme that people share ironically. The zealotry has really put me off the language.

It's the new "just do it in jquery".

@horus I agree. Bothers me when devs suggest grandiose ideas to other devs when it's out of our hands and management would have to allow multiple months for a rewrite

Unless they are willing to bring it up with the PO as a Legit suggestion and are just trying to get the dev team on board..

@cuddlyogre I wonder if those Rust zealots and actual Rust developers are actually the same people. I guess there are people working productively in Rust, and there's other people just suggesting doing so. (This is a bit ironic; I'd have to slightly modify the title from "Rust programmers" to "Rust zealots".)
