This is very plausible theory. Despite Python being the perennial counter example used by haters, I just noted elsewhere in the thread I'm de-facto maintainer of a Python system that feels a bit "write once, read never" to me because it overuses esoteric Python language features.

There are dozens of ways (some well motivated!) a programmer can write software that no one (even themself) can maintain!

It's Friday again, so it's time for another update on Diesel, a query builder and ORM for Rust.

The news of the week is that @rustfoundation started sponsoring my work on Diesel. I'm still looking for more sponsors. So if you are interested in supporting my work, please reach out.

Otherwise I'm happy to announce that Luca has joined the Diesel Contributor teams. It's always good to see more people being around and helping.

This week we got 1 new bug report and 14 new PR's

I can't directly favorite or boost https://snac.tesio.it/giacomo/p/1792074929.102921 by @giacomo for some strange reason, but it's great. My only quibble is where to put Common Lisp or Racket. Even though I love Lisp, both seem quite complex. Are they really simpler than Go? Anyways, here's the post:

I strongly encourage you to use anything but a language that can be compiled by different totally independent compilers/interpreters.

My favourite are #Oberon and #C.

#Myrddin and #Hare are potential candidates (despite having one single implementation) because of their current simplicity.

Some might even argue for #Lua, a #Lisp (a #Scheme?) or, god forbid, a #BASIC.

Any language complex enough that it can only be compiled by one or two corporate-backed compilers are going to backfire on your users in the long (or even short) run.

#Rust is way too complex.

So is #Python. And #Zig (that still requires #LLVM).

#Go is from #Google, so I avoid anything written in it.

What does the anti #AI crowd on Fedi think about #Rust? What will become of it?

Because like, out of all of the software that could potentially become unusable due to low-quality code, #programming languages are some of the hardest to replace, once you're committed to using one.

So, if I start a new project, what should I do?

Comment below if you think there's something else I should use instead (with good type system, build tooling, safety, zero-cost abstractions, etc).

I strongly encourage you to use anything but a language that can be compiled by different totally independent compilers/interpreters.

My favourite are #Oberon and #C.

#Myrddin and #Hare are potential candidates (despite having one single implementation) because of their current simplicity.

Some might even argue for #Lua, a #Lisp (a #Scheme?) or, god forbid, a #BASIC.

#Go is from #Google, so I avoid anything written in it.

In the last time I've ported the #flame #fractal generator #JWildFire to #Rust with a cleaner UI and full #GPU rendering.
If you like to try it out, have a look at the Github project page; https://github.com/Ravetracer/RWildFire

Builds are available as Linux AppImage and for Windows (unsigned).

an idea on reducing the number of Rust dependencies: require the toplevel crate to prominently declare all of them, including transitive ones

I think it's great that Cargo makes it easy to add deps (less wheel reinvention), but there's also clearly a problem, it's going too far. So we should add a bit of friction.

This toplevel requirement should naturally backpressure to all intermediate crates: you will really think twice when adding a dep if it would annoy *all your consumers*

Strata has released version 1.0, its first stable milestone.

Built in Rust and GTK4, the open-source file manager features icon grid, list, and Miller column layouts, alongside Vim-style keyboard navigation and fuzzy filename searching.

Version 1.0 introduces keyboard-accessible tabs with session restoration, improved drag-and-drop handling, and large directory optimizations.

Previews are sandboxed using Bubblewrap.

I think it's high time to check Zig once again.

With current stance against LLMs and other stuff this language is looking better and better in my eyes. Last time I was comparing it with Rust, I ended liking Rust more due to how easy was to make a simple hobby project with it and how much software I can potentially contribute to knowing this language. But Rust's strongest point – having crate for almost every single task in programming is related to the point I don't like in Rust – crates.io, a big central place for crates which is an obvious target for supply chain attacks, like in case of PyPI and npm. While I understand rationale behind having small std library and delegating more to third party libraries, which in result leads to need for having them easily accessible for the best developer experience. I still prefer something else. I think I like the way Go does it more, and I think Zig is doing something similar but I'm not sure.

And now, from what I know, some of big and important crates are allowing LLM contributions, which leads to avoiding using LLMs as much as possible, being a hard task when using Rust.

I expect stronger #NoAI stance of the Zig project might lead to fostering community, I might be interested in participating in. But IMHO Rust's policy is not that bad, so I'm still not really sure which language I prefer.

Also the whole thinking about which language I like more is probably just me wasting time, as I'm currently using C++ most of time due to my job and other stuff. But if I ever have chance to use something else, I would like to have some opinion ready. As much as I like Hare, I think this language might not be an option when the opportunity would happen in my job.

My biggest grief with Hare is that I'll probably never have an opportunity to use it professionally…

EDIT: Check discussion in replies about pros of centralized repos like crates.io, as my point about decentralized ones being more resilient to supply chain attacks might be complete bullshit. I've just learned about new possibility.

That's fascinating to learn because I have a latent set of skills (due to my Master's thesis work) that (should I ever get time for a hobby project), that I could actually contribute usefully with minimal “get started” effort.

Is this happening in the existing Perl 5 codebase, or are folks reimplementing the language internals from scratch to move forward?

I was only ⅓ joking about reimplementing Perl in Rust!
