  • Python Is Bad Enough But Now There's Rust

    From Lester Thorpe@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 5 14:25:34 2025
    My incomparable Gentoo system has the following Python versions
    installed:

    python-2.7.18_p16-r2
    python-3.11.13
    python-3.12.11
    python-3.13.5
    python-3.14.0_beta3
    python-3.8.20_p7

    WTF!

    But this is no fluke. All those versions are necessary as some
    other package requires them.

    However, now Rust is equally crazy. Here are my Rust installed
    versions:

    rust-1.82.0
    rust-1.83.0
    rust-1.84.0
    rust-1.85.0
    rust-1.85.1
    rust-1.88.0

    Again, all are necessary somewhere.

    But Rust packages are always very slow to build and they will
    each pull in a mountain of "crates."

    Rust, like Python but even worse, is the junk of junk.

    This is the price that we pay so that these developer queers
    can maintain their illusion of progress.

    Rust evangelists seem to be a trojan horse for something worse.

    The language is OK, but not as necessary as people make it out to be. C
    still works best as a Unix systems programming language.

    The phrase “They hate us for our freedoms” comes to mind ...
