C too.
So did PHP
You have rust:
You spent a lot of time planning and simulating the perfect rescue plan, and perform a blazingly fast 🔥🚀 and perfect rescue,
But you bore the princess to death explaining why she should stop being a princess and instead become a knight that rescue princesses.
I love rust btw, but the cultist behaviour needs to stop.
You also don't have armor, a sword, or a horse but there are crates you can use to get them! It's important that the standard library not contain tools 90% of knights will require because writing and mainting tools is difficult so we should stick to the tried and true method of relying on some random guy in Nebraska to do it for us!
To be fair, the random guy in Nebraska is often part of the Rust core team. Like, it's distributed as a separate library, allowing the library to make changes independently from the stdlib and to be replaced, if a better library emerges, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily of worse quality.
Having said that, yes, for some things you can't find a library by someone from the Rust team and especially for newbies, it's difficult to know which libraries are good and which not.
The princess is neither Sync nor Send.
And the princess doesn't live long enough to be returned from the castle
Once again, C reigns King!
Or at least the only one left standing...
I wanna see a Python version. No wait, I probably don't:-P.
Expected git, got multiple programming languages. Nice.
I recently thought about this. Thanks for digging it up again!
