  1. I've tried rust, but I'm not into self-inflicted pain, so I've decided it's not for me.

  2. I've been a C and C++ dev for 28 years. I decided to try rust, but it did my brain in real quick. Didn't like it. It was 10% writing code and 90% head against brick wall.

  3. Rust is much more difficult to learn and use than C++ in my opinion. I can do anything I want to do in C++, so I've abandoned rust. It effectivelly offers me nothing but headaches. As for multi-threading, I've developed them in C++ without any issues. I'm not sure what additional benefits rust provides there, but it does make everything 10x harder.

  4. Why does bad documentation make a language better? That seems counter intuative to me. And in fact it's one of the reasons why I've already abandoned rust. It's a battle I don't need to fight.

  5. I'm thinking that just about any language would seem great after struggling with java. That said, I don't like either language. They both burn my brain cells but in very different ways.
