Rust is fucking trash and learning C++ makes it easier to learn Rust anyway

What big guys? Amazon says they're all in on Rust but then their SDK lags months or years behind. It's the same everywhere.

Rust still can't even make a game engine. Like 50 engine attempts and no games meme. How can it solve real problems. It can't. 

Borrow checker is also overrated. It makes iteration impossible because all code is production code. Almost all errors are logic errors and garbage collected languages are a million times better, so the only reason to use Rust is if you want performance and don't trust C++. That's a low bar and if C++ improves even slightly as far as security then Rust is just dead. Meanwhile, actually good languages are in development that don't have dogshit syntax.

The only people who use Rust are tween furry dipshits and the occasional hurt dev who has buffer overflow PTSD.

Btw I wonder if anyone who likes Rust has even used it. I regret every project I did in Rust. I have an API that reliably breaks every time SSL updates and have to manually write AWS code. Tokio is running everything and anything not run by them has like a single maintainer or is a dead project, like the Actix guy using unsafe and just bailing. Error messages look like this shit https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/pitfalls/into-system.html. A lot of libraries work around the safeties and just panic instead of forcing you to handle it. And it's impossible to write even simple elegant code without proc macros and lifetimes everywhere.

Not that C++ is great -- it's not. Just Rust is somehow worse than a dinosaur language and even slower to work with. It's a sidegrade at best. Anyone moving codebases will regret it. That's a fucking stupid idea.

Not to mention their community is a literal cult and some of the worst programmers. Oh and they don't write documentation. Not even a readme.

And yes, you should much prefer maintaining legacy code over this streaming pile.
