Who the hell would call python beautiful has never seen python code in the wild

Too true, python can be beautiful and succinct or like a huge plate of spaghetti cut up with scissors

Once you get used to the Rust syntax, it actually makes the code look cleaner.

Ans you also learn to format it properly.

Generally any new santax looks ugly. Then when you understand why it is written like it is it starts looking good.

learn to ~~format it properly~~ stop trying to correct rustfmt

FTFY

What are the last two? I know Python and C, but haven’t seen the last two.

The third one is rust which has become a meme at this point. Programmers like it because it has almost as much performance as C but has a lot of safeguards preventing memory errors and vulnerabilities. I have no idea what the last one is tho

Did rust change it’s logo? I thought it was a gear. :s

It did not change logo. This is the mascot.

I think it just has two logos but idk

Those are Rust and Nim

Crab is Rust, but the last one…

Apparently it’s called nim.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim_(programming_language)

Looking at the Wikipedia article, it seems like it has some weird syntax choices. And even though it compiles to C code, I’m not convinced that it’s as fast as C or Rust, since it has a garbage collector.

I’m pretty skeptical it could be as fast and safe as Rust without the added challenge. Like, even doing what Rust did was a big deal.

OH… NIM NIM NIM NIM NIM FUCKING NIM

One big reason Nim never really caught on is because we’ve got lots of fast-ish languages with garbage collection (like Go, which sucks a lot of oxygen away from Nim IMO). Rust introduced a new concept to the mainstream that lets you program safely without a runtime hit for garbage collection.

Ada would like a word with you ;)

To my knowledge, Ada doesn’t have an equivalent to Rust’s borrow checker. I also think I covered that base by specifying “mainstream” 😀
