You have rust:

You spent a lot of time planning and simulating the perfect rescue plan, and perform a blazingly fast πŸ”₯πŸš€ 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.

i dont even use rust and i hear more people complaining about rust than i hear rust users.

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!

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

But you can always get a deep copy of the princess, no?

It might not be what you expected, but lisp did it

Expected git, got multiple programming languages. Nice.

Once again, C reigns King!

I am not sure that is supposed to be the takeaway message, but sure, whatever makes you happy.

Or at least the only one left standing...

I wanna see a Python version. No wait, I probably don't:-P.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

left standing…

Look closely, not standing.
Being crushed underneath the overflow.


Those that were left standing, however:

  • JavaScript: standing, staring at the ruins, contemplating Docker
  • C#: standing in line, probably hungry after not seeing a payday despite having paid the electricity bill for running Visual Studio for hours, on top of Windows license
  • Java: The horse is standing
  • Lisp: The creature generated from the 3 combined may be considered as "standing"
  • Go: Everyone seems able to stand on their own. I don't see a problem
  • Pascal: At least the princess is still standing. Maybe not for long though.

I recently thought about this. Thanks for digging it up again!
