Cool. Now go post this in the community where they are re-writting Lemmy in Java.
Wait, is that really happening? If so, Lemmy backend, here I come! (I am a C# programmer, Rust scares me)
My reaction on this is: Whatever.
I have heard strange things about Lemmy development in general, so it makes sense that something else would pop up eventually. Java though? I avoid JVMs like the plague and the security track record for spring* is spotty at best.
Still, if some people prefer it that way, whatever.
Same, but I guess if you have a idea you want to build then using a language you are already comfortable with makes it a lot smoother than learning one that could be a better fit.
I can agree with that. There isn’t anything wrong with diversity as long as the entire ecosystem benefits from it. There are pros and cons, but not really worth going into that here.
At the end of the day, this is the fediverse. If someone wants to write instance code in COBOL to run on a toaster, you go right ahead! (It doesn’t mean I am going to support that effort, but my own personal opinion is insignificant in the whole scheme of things.)
Damn now you made me want to learn COBOL just for the meme…
Great! I’m so happy they kept it Lemmy compatible
Don’t avoid JVMs for “security” reasons, the security industry will raise CVE’s against anything they think will look good on their CV.
Avoid JVM’s because they are synonymous with overengineered, bloated, overly verbose code with crazy memory requirements for what they deliver
Sorry, my points were mixed unintentionally.
I agree, I stay away from JVMs because they are a pain in the ass to administer and like you said, are usually coded by the lowest bidder.
In a well maintained environment, I have nothing against JVMs actually.
I was just removed about the spring framework family. While security updates are frequent, Java apps tend to not age well and commonly suffer from version lock-in. (I am going through a round of that at my current job with spring auth stuffs being the offender.)
You mean the new Spring Security deprecating some of the older APIs? I agree that the new version changes a lot of stuff but IMO these changes are much more welcome and more streamlined than before. It’s better to do it once and you don’t have to touch the security config all too often once it’s done.
I don’t understand the bad rap that Spring gets. Compared to the other frameworks around (Jakarta EE, etc) it’s much more accessible than people realize, plus a very mature ecosystem.
It shouldn’t scare you.

Having dabbled in rust I really like the error reporting, but it doesn’t seem nearly as readable at a glance as something like python or c#. Better than C++ though I’ve seen some eldritch scrawl in that language
I believe readability is mostly about experience. The more you read, and the more familiar you get with the typical idioms, the easier and faster it gets.
Rust puts a lot more information into the type system than C#, the result is much better type safety and compile time guarantees at the expense of longer and more complex type signatures. This also plays a part. But for me, I love strong, expressive type systems. I want my program to fail compilation, not explode at runtime.
Yeah for some reason
What’s the point tho
Apparently it’s so that it is easier for more people to contribute because java is known by more people than rust. The sublinks dev is also promising better mod tools. The LW team said something about also helping to develop it and eventually use it as the backend.
because java is known by more people than rust
Seems like a silly reason to me. By that logic we might as well rewrite it in JavaScript.
Java is reasonably fast though, as the JRE is pretty well optimized at this point. Languages closer to being fully interpreted like JS and Python (technically both python and JS still get compiled to a lower target and then interpreted) are still noticeably slower.
Edit: there’s also the fact that JS/TS runs on a single thread, so it’s inherently limited for applications intended to be scaled up.
I agree with all of that, and thus conclude that Java being known to many was not the only reason, which was my point. 😊
There’s also PieFed, which is the same but with Python
Rust is the WORST programming “language.”
- it is against the natural order for a PROGRAM to tell the PROGRAMMER how to fix an error. Fixes should ONLY come from PROPHETIC DREAMS.
- obfuscation should be done for FUN by PROGRAMMERS to SCARE python programmers. It should NOT be a MANDATORY feature of a language.
- Memory leaks are a GIFT given to us by GOD. Programmers will ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD for SOLUTIONS as long as there are MEMORY LEAKS.

<snorts in perl>
There are two kinds of programming languages. The languages that people removed about, and the languages nobody uses.
They have played us for absolute fools
I must not be unsafe. Unsafe memory is the mind killer. The little leak that brings total obliteration. When I face unsafe memory, I will turn towards my inner Rust and rewrite it. When I trace the leak’s path only safety will remain.
isn’t rust code just
unsafe {
the entire codebase
}
??
This reads like a poem, I unironically love this

It would kinda go along to “do not go gentle into the good night” like it was presented in Interstellar.
This might just be the thing that makes me learn Rust
Update: this has been popping in and out of my head ever since I saw it, and I started learning Rust yesterday. They have won.
I am the nogrammer. I do not program. I prompt chatgpt to write my code for me. This takes care of my programming needs.
The world shall be… Rusty.
Implement Prolog in Rust. 🙏
Done and done https://s-arash.github.io/ascent/
This is so not Prolog.
or you know…use valgrind and lots of lots of tests to be ~%85 safe
Or Node.js, and a requirement for a recent GPU to run your calculator app.
To be tilde percent eighty-five safe? Is this how you talk?
What?
You wrote: ~%85
I ask: do you say tilde percent eighty-five?
yes he does, I have seen him do it all the time. shame on him
Weird

best programmer humor post of the year
I don’t know Rust, but I know English. Anyone knows any good English programming tutorial?
Like brainwashing?
Noo. I wanna program in English.
Let the Rust, the only deity, the only faith, guide us to our destiny. Amen.
