  1. I think you're being a tad bit naive when it comes to Apple products. Of course, I do know that you use their products, so you might be a bit blind to their problems. As far as the future is concerned, I'd love to be able to print my own processor designs, not FPGA but actual lithography on silicon wafers, because that may be the only way going forward to actually trust the computers we use at a hardware level. Not everyone can do everything, but if we could get morally good and trustworthy people to produce the hardware that we use, we might be able to trust what other people produce.

  2.  @cavalieroutdoors6036  And exactly how they put people like you and me in furnaces. In other words, the ones claiming that we're the fascists are the ones who are themselves fascists.

  3.  @BenQ.-ys4kp  I've been learning it for the past 3 or 4 years and let me tell you, it's not a good language. I keep watching videos on it and they're nearly all filled with lies. They allude to or insinuate that it'll prevent every error and then sea lion on you if you call them out on it. Fact of the matter is, the types of errors that the language tries to prevent aren't actually prevented wholly by the language nor in combination with libraries that you'll inevitably have to use if you don't rewrite literally everything in Rust. The biggest source of errors is failure to check user input and it doesn't actually make that any easier. If a Rustacean tells you that memory misuse is the biggest source of errors, they're either spreading propaganda or being facile because that's only how things end up when you fail to check user input. If you want a few examples of what's wrong with the language, look at strings, lifetimes, constructors, mutability, references. Certain keywords irritate me, but I'll admit that that may just be a personal opinion. Things like fn, let, pub, impl, mut. I abhor Java-style singular use keywords like pub and fn. If I have to use a keyword to declare a group of functions as public, then it should allow me to collectively refer to those functions instead of requiring that I use pub for every single function. I just hate function keywords in general. Look at C++ lambdas for an example of doing it mostly right. No keyword at all, though I do have issues with the array of captures component. If anyone tries to claim anything about "the most vexing parse", I'll point out that you can and should use braces to invoke constructors in C++ now and that eliminates that weird self-imposed problem. I say now, but it's been since C++11, so it's not exactly a short time and in fact has been usable since before Rust existed. Anyhow, if YouTube doesn't shadow or delete this and you do happen to actually read it, I'd suggest C if you don't already know it, and just ignore newer languages, but if you must have classes, operator overloading, templates and RAII, then sure, go for C++.

  4.  @sigurdss4  I disagree. I've used a lot of programming languages, and I feel like Rust's designers went in a completely wrong direction with nearly everything. The way I figure it, a programming language's job is to get out of your way and let you do the work you need to do, but Rust constantly gets in the way, even when you use it the only way you can. I think the biggest part of the problem is too much and too inconsistent of syntax.

  5.  @gug1970  Yeah, and my favorite e-mail client back then was Phoenix Mail, which eventually just died because of the naming conflict. Although, even if an old copy of it would still work, I've basically stopped using e-mail for all purposes except notifications now.

  6.  @OhNotThat  Perhaps you don't really know what justice is, or maybe you haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in our courts, but the left is most definitely committing acts of injustice in an attempt to correct the injustices of the past. Putting someone in prison for political beliefs is never correct, yet here we are with thousands of political prisoners in the new banana republic of the disparate states of America.

  7.  @mintoo2cool  True, everyone should just use Linux, but some people haven't fully broken free from the pen that their overlords have put them in. Eventually they'll stop bleating, whether it be because they've seen the light or the corporation has silenced them, but they will stop.
