This crusade you have going on against the idea of Rust is getting borderline obsessive. Like when you called it an 'incomplete' language and never explained what that actually means.
Setting aside the mountain of evidence that you are ignoring here (that I might have a life on the week of Christmas, how you are the one following me across multiple posts, how you seem unwilling to do an internet search on your own to satisfy any actual curiosity you might have about why Rust is not a great language for someone to learn), I will clarify: I have zero beef about the existence of that language, it seems a fine one for anyone who wants to use it, have at it, enjoy yourself.
The underlying point of this post though - although its real purpose was an attempt at humor, but PLEASE don't ask me to explain "humor" to you as well - is to point out not the existence of the language but its choice to use in this software implementation, which leads to its pace of development being far behind that of PieFed. One primary reason for that being that more contributors seem willing to help out, and their time seems to work to greater effect in terms of constantly adding new features to the project.
But you are taking this far more seriously than I meant to.
You're the one who's been writing walls of text about this exact thing incessantly for months, sorry I find your 'humour' tiresome. And it's not stalking to remember things I've seen you say in the past.
I don't mind development being a little slower if it means the software is more stable and performant.
Now, that said, I can't really speak to the fact that Rust is more performant or stable than some other language X, as I don't know enough to make such statements. 😅
I'm just saying.
That is a good point... although I wonder how relevant it is with the current number of users of Lemmy.
It could become a future issue if Lemmy / PieFed were to ever take off?
Python will make it so loads of people can check out the codebase and tinker with it IMO.
It's dead simple, so that's a big plus compared to Rust. Rust has its own benefits, lets see how it all plays out.
Who could say. Not I. 😁
If you block someone they can't reply to your posts btw.
They can still message you.
Do with this information what you will.
The reason that Lemmy is slow to develop is not because of Rust, but because of Tankie devs who spend more time managing propaganda and enforcing censorship in and out of their respective instances rather than actually developing the damn software.
I've heard that about Dessalines, but not Nutomic, yet for whatever reason Lemmy feature requests sit unanswered for multiple YEARS at a time, compared to like weeks to months on PieFed.
People can do whatever they want to. For myself, I prefer more rather than fewer features, and responsive devs to unresponsive ones.
