Rust has pretty strong stability guarantees. Backwards incompatible changes are only made using “editions” where every compiler version supports all previous editions and editions are fully interoperable.

The versions still make me reluctant to try rust. I’m sure it’s reliable in theory but I’m always getting cockblocked when someone’s python project doesn’t work because of dependencies and different versions. I once remade a python 3d object format converter in c++ because that was easier than a) fixing whatever dependency and runtime version shenanigans or b) using whatever bullshit ass Windows-only propriety software most people used to make that file conversion
I use both python and rust extensively and they are literally day and night when it comes to dependency issues. The only problems I’ve ever had with rust are when there is a non-rust dependency that’s not cross platform (which would be a problem in c as well). The editions (which are different from versions) are nothing to be afraid of either, iirc a rust 2021 project can depend on 2018 and 2015 libraries without issues.

Checkmate, Cniles!
Finding my own old projects: “What the hell did this guy do and why does it work?”
that is me with regex that I wrote from scratch like 5 mins ago
“Finally! It works! I’ll never touch it again! I’ll just move it in a variable and–… WHYYYY???!?!11!”
Its always the backslash before the forward slash. Every. Time.
bash is veeery old and it implements all of posix.
Bash’s posix mode still has a lot of bashisms. The only way to test true posix compliance is to test with other shells like
dashandash. I have found this is the case a lot of time. People will say it’s POSIX compliant shell, but it’ll obviously only be tested in bash Like at that point just make it a bash script, since pretty much every system under the sun has it.
And don’t even get me started with C# and Node.js projects, chances are you will need to reimplement the entire application just to get the project out of vulnerable library versions.
Better not pay in cash, if you’re so afraid of change, I mean.
Why would someone who is afraid of change pay cash? Wouldn’t they be given change?
/c/whooosh anyone?
Everything I’ll ever make will be done in C. Try and stop me.
Ew, used languages? Yuck! Gimme a brand, spanking new language, hot off the factory floor.
I am sick of these meme. Of course we know c is better than python on many aspects but python is also. Lets say you are building… I an continuing, I hope you are capable of continuing it by yourself. Everyone knows which is better for their particular needs, so just let these memes go. We can be more creative with memes
