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

@applejack plan to use Go in place of Python basically kek
@applejack that or I just use Rust all the time because I enjoy it a lot so fair I haven't played with Go much outside of just examination of the syntax and others code
@applejack I'll have to admit Rust is a bit heavy on how much you have to write out but it's easy to understand once you get the hang of it seems
@applejack Also just like

@applejack oh yeah another neat thing about Rust is theirs a loop block that just loops forever
You can do this with while(1) but I think loop is more clear and easier to type

@applejack True is more readable arguably but I would hope every programmer would know 1 = True
