Rust is very comfy so far! Wrote what the Rust book suggests writing. If anyone knows Rust better than me please rate this code, it’s probably shit

@fugger See, I don't get why you call this comfy. Similar D code with similar performance and memory-safety would be so much comfier and so much easier to read

@fugger If stdin is closed such as from a ctrl-d read() returns 0 immediately so you get an empty string, otherwise you always have at least a \n

Idk how the rust code handles that

>not a fan of garbage collectors
I thought you liked Go, it's garbage collected. You can disable it in D but then you have to write things a bit more like rust

@applejack I don't plan to use Go for everything Go is simple so I plan to use it for simple projects as a result I will use

Rust if I am doing something like writing a game or backend and Go if I am doing something like idk a fediverse bot
Follow

@fugger Yeah, I can respect that

For simple things like this I'd actually just use Lua. When I need very fast parallel processing I use C and OpenMP. When I need something simple but low-level it's D. When I need something async It's JS or Luvit
