  1. Recently I got into a discussion with some folks moaning about how Adobe was treating them with its creative suites and hikes in licensing fees. Instead of joining the moaning I challenged them, that Adobe was treating them like they deserve to be treated. They choose to be slaves to Adobe, where there are plenty of Open Source alternatives.

  2. While Rust forces you to prevent errors, the compiler usually tells you exactly how to fix the problem, and gives pointers explaining the problem very clearly. The problem with learning Rust is on the level one up from getting the syntax right. It is getting rid of unsafe constructs that other languages advocate. Like callbacks or back-pointers etc. But it are exactly those structures that make our software so brittle.

  3. Impressive video! Mind Blown. Gained a new subscriber. I have been learning rust for a few months now, love the language and i am intregued by it.

  4. The point about Open Source is that you can send a little bit of effort into improving the tools, instead of slacking it off. But if you want to continue paying Adobe their fees, by all means do so. It is a free country. Re SW patents: those are US-ONLY. Most nations do not allow SW patents. Basic patents are all expired, because Photoshop has been around for more than 20 years. If the initial Photoshop implemented those techniques, their patents expired 13 years ago.

  5. There is a reason why the Linux kernel supports only two languages: plain C and Rust (and a tiny amount of assembly). Because Rust adds useful abstractions that you can use to build better, more reliable software than with C.
