Wow thanks so much for breaking that down for me! The discussions I’ve been having here and the information devs are sharing is really kicking me off the fence about learning Rust
Thank you for the explanation.
Wow that’s enormous. I’ll have to learn more about that. Thanks for the info!
Is Rust as close to the metal as C? Seems like there would still be a need for C. I could see Rust replacing Java as something that’s so ceremonial and verbose, but from my limited perspective as a sometimes java dev, having only the most glancing experience with C, it seems like C would be hard to replace because of what it is. Buy I honestly don’t know much about Rust either, I just think JS is so finicky and unpredictable whereas web assembly seems extremely fast and stable.
That makes sense! Thanks for your insight
Good to know, I’ve only been a dev since 2019 so I appreciate the long view
Why is everyone down on Rust? Seriously. I don’t know it but I’ve considered learning it and it appeals to me and people literally scoff when I mention it. Saw it referred to as a meme language on Lemmy, which is built in Rust. What am I missing?
Or you could do a 60 fps bloodborne remaster that people would actually play for orders of magnitude less money, but what do I know I’m just a plebe who didn’t lose 400 million dollars
I know a guy who was a child in east Berlin, he is a Trotskyist
it sounds like you hate human nature not communism. Anyway that sounds terrible, I wish you were able to give me more details so that I could try and learn from your friend’s family’s experience. I wouldn’t try to doxx you, I don’t have that kind of free time or energy, but I def understand the hesitation.
I guess I would argue that calling something communism doesn’t make it so, and there’s all different strains of communism too. For example, I’ve often found myself working with Trotskyists who explicitly reject forming “communes” that could become cults, and guerilla groups to seize power through violence. Even if its good for the people to form militias, trots tend to believe it isn’t where the energy of the “vanguard” should be directed, and that instead people should seize political power and smash the state via those means. There’s no history I’m aware of of what you’re describing happening with Trotskyists, in fact there’s sort of a nasty history of trotskyists getting rounded up and killed by the sort of groups you are against.
You can be a socialist and recognize the need to change the social order away from capitalism while still being suspicious of communism. Just because a guerilla group did something awful doesn’t mean capitalism is good (which you don’t say, you seem to have some anti imperialist critiques of capitalism yourself) or even that there is no alternative to capitalism. If this is the best system possible, the planet, all people are fucked. Something, someone has to fight against it. Capitalism can’t be reformed.
Its interesting that your misanthropy seems to be directed at a system that has never existed rather than the system that actually exists. But I don’t know you so maybe that’s an unfair generalization. Anyway, thanks for your response, maybe next time we can have a more detailed discussion.
Edited some clarity and tone
what specific guerillas or strongholds are you referring to? its hard to learn from history without being able to name any dates, places, people, or any details at all. without those things it isnt history its just like a vibe. like you have bad vibes about communism, which youre entitled to i guess. i have a little bit more curiosity than that though. i think that if we arent discussing anything specific, then we arent discussing anything at all.
What were your experiences living under a communist regime?
Yes it does, but I imagine not all pistol parries are created equal
You see real democracy is when you subvert the will of the people and call it “checks and balances”.
