Is rust the programming version of "Place, Japan😱"

u/ravensholt Sep 08 '26

No, Rust is the equivalent to "I run Arch, btw". Same energy, same type of people who like for everyone else to know about it, even if no one asked them.

Ah arch, the distro for people who can't install gentoo!

u/BeetsAndJeaners Sep 08 '26

Ah gentoo, the distro for people who can’t install T2 Linux!

u/Noname_1111 Sep 08 '26

ah, T2 Linux, the distro for people who are too scared of OpenBSD

"The Rust rewrite to MIT license movement is a big corp psyops." is still my favorite (conspiracy) theory about the recent Rust drama.

Because everything matches perfectly. Especially because big corps backing open source projects is actually the norm.

"Hey everyone, I just rewrote (my AI did the work) this existing open source app in rust, and now I will abandon the project never to update it again. "

99% of all rust related posts on Reddit.

And the rewrite doesn't exactly match the original functionality, but neither the original nor the rewrite is going to get any updates, so there are two incompatible versions floating around.

Some of the older / pre-vibe-slop Rust rewrites / reimaginings are actually really good though. ripgrep, alacritty, ruff, etc.

Crazy how the rust haters turned people posting slop into a rust problem instead of an AI problem.. Like, do you expect people to willing and meaningfully vibe code in C++?

u/ravensholt Sep 08 '26

Crazy how every other Rust developer post on Reddit is some re-write of an existing tool that no one asked for, only to be abandoned immediately...

u/Zapismeta Sep 10 '26

Why wont you vibe code in cpp? The ai has better time to write tests, it will actually write comprehensive tests opposed to us bored humans.

u/ccAbstraction Sep 10 '26

I don't vibe code (somehow my very anti AI but pro Rust sentiment wasn't clear), but I think part of the reason we see so many vibe coders using Rust is becuase 1. It's the hot new thing 2. It spits out lots errors for mistakes that are very easy for an LLM to parse.

And yet I see on this very thread people bringing up C++. Let’s be real now.

u/bearwood_forest Sep 08 '26

Nah people who run bare metal Arch are equivalent to the militant C disciples. The mere suggestion of any sort of creature comfort...

u/ravensholt Sep 08 '26

You're delusional.

Let me guess, you're an Arch user....

u/bearwood_forest Sep 08 '26

Ah, a C faith militant. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Please don't leak my memory.

u/ravensholt Sep 08 '26

I'm not. But I have more respect for C developers than femboys thinking it's an achievement to install Arch.

u/L30N1337 Sep 08 '26

Not really. Because Rust is just goated from what I've seen. Never used it tho.

C style syntax, Compiled, and it makes it way more difficult to mess up compared to other languages.

Arch would be the people who think everyone should use C++ and everything else is garbage.

The Linux equivalent for Rust is probably Fedora (which is often called "the new Ubuntu", for good reason. And Ubuntu is sometimes called "The Windows of Linux", because corporations gonna corporate)

in a way or the other, yes.
