People who don't like #Rust: why specifically don't you like it?
I'm in the process of learning it now. There are definitely some things about the language that I can see some as finding irritating (i.e.: the borrowing system). Personally though, I'd rather have a dozen complie-time errors than a single runtime error. This is the reason I tend to gravitate towards Haskell, for instance.
It's certainly not the right language for everything, but if you want better safety in code that needs to be highly efficient, it seems a reasonable alternative to C/C++.
Found my first point of irritation. Crates.io requires a GitHub account.
I have one, but I don't like to use it.
That said, creating a crates.io account seems optional-ish...
@mo8it@fosstodon.org@me We are in the same boat. I don't like the current state of having a single authentication option with Github.
But the good thing is that Github is only required for authentication. The code of all my published crates on crates.io is hosted on Codeberg :D
They are open to contributions to implement authentication via email, but sadly it is not a priority.
