Every language starts out as beautiful, then it becomes popular, a whole lot of new features get wedged into it, and everyone who's watched a 5 minute tutorial video starts coding in it.
I remember the days when Python, Java and even Perl were considered beautiful.
Once you get used to the Rust syntax, it actually makes the code look cleaner.
Ans you also learn to format it properly.
Generally any new santax looks ugly. Then when you understand why it is written like it is it starts looking good.
One big reason Nim never really caught on is because we've got lots of fast-ish languages with garbage collection (like Go, which sucks a lot of oxygen away from Nim IMO). Rust introduced a new concept to the mainstream that lets you program safely without a runtime hit for garbage collection.
Ada would like a word with you ;)
To my knowledge, Ada doesn't have an equivalent to Rust's borrow checker. I also think I covered that base by specifying "mainstream" 😀
What are the last two? I know Python and C, but haven't seen the last two.
The third one is rust which has become a meme at this point. Programmers like it because it has almost as much performance as C but has a lot of safeguards preventing memory errors and vulnerabilities. I have no idea what the last one is tho
Did rust change it's logo? I thought it was a gear. :s
It did not change logo. This is the mascot.
I think it just has two logos but idk
The crab is public domain, so you can use it to advertise your own Rust project or whatever. The gear logo belongs to the Rust foundation, which sparked some controversy a while ago.
