  1. Hi ThePrimeagen, Thank you for answering me on your other video, why you simply do not find Rust enjoyable. I'd like to tell you why I am still choosing Rust for the foreseeable future. First, keep in mind I am a fan of Functional Programming. The reasons I like Rust are simple. - Rust is lambda-calculus based (like Haskell) - Rust has easy error messages (unlike Haskell) - Rust has easy tooling (cargo edits .toml files for me) - Rust's advanced parts are very Computer Science-y and not very opinionated. - It feels like using a popular OCaml without Objects (which is a dreamy thing to say) All I wanted was to write either Haskell without Monads, or OCaml without Objects. Rust is that language I wanted to write. So now I write Rust. I hope this helps give you some perspective and thank you for all your videos. Cheers.

  2. 28:38 - "Computers aren't functional" Sorry, but this is a lowbrow take. How computers are, is incidental to how we write programs. I invite you to think deeper about the relationship between how we write programs and how the computer incidentally runs them after the arbitrary number of transformations you consider "the computer running your code". I would argue it is quite tenuous. One could also similarly argue "CPUs are written (i.e. the diecast circuit is planned) with functional programming languages, so why shouldn't we also write functional programs to run on them?"

  3. ...and for swimming in Java Virtual Machine errors.

  4. People who do that are called Lispers.

  5. Not going back with a language without Hindley-Milner type-checking.

  7. And what is your reason not to pick Rust?

  8. Casey is not the person for this. Look up Ian Joyner. He has a whole book on why C++ sucks (I think it was his master's thesis) comparing it to Java and Eiffel. He also has many online posts about it.

  11. Can you explain memory composting simply?

  12. We can't talk about Tcl because it makes other languages look bad (Tcl solved both Desktop and Web GUI forever decades ago).
