Strong moderation abilities, and instance admins like ourselves who actually ban white supremacist communities and not sit on their hands about hosting the largest one on the internet, for years.
edit: like just today, we had a few TERF communities try to set up here. It took us less than a day to ban them. Its not difficult.
Unironically yes for me. At least out of the languages I've worked most in, when I have to go back to them, I find myself saying that rust did this much better.
I used to use duck typed languages for scripting, but those quickly grow complex to where you wish you had compile time type checking anyway.
Unfortunately the main GUI platforms today are the web, and mobile apps, and neither can really use rust yet.
Computers are becoming faster and faster, we should create simpler programming languages that use more resources.
Devs thinking like this are the reason our chat apps and some text editors are in electron, wasting tons of system resources, by running what is essentially its own operating system, chromium.
Just to give an idea, here's some things I have running on my laptop right now:
App | Ram
| - Signal Desktop (Electron) | 368 Mb Lightcord (Discord, Electron) | 367 Mb Element (Electron) | 212 Mb
Before electron, back in the AIM / IRC / MSN messenger days, these were tiny programs easily runnable on a 256 MB ram machine.
This article is about website bloat, but it equally applies to so many of our chat apps that went from using system libraries and GUI frameworks, to the browser.
All other posts in other subreddits by me are also got removed.Voidlinux does not have a forum apart from this https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/. So I thought It wought be nice to have an alternative.
I can't stand so many things about the twitter style of social media.
Based around following people: not communities or topics. If I follow a person, I have to see all of their posts no matter how unimportant to me it is. I might like a person's input on star trek, I really don't care if they're drinking their second red bull that morning.
There are tags, but no voting, no sorting, and no moderation, so they're mostly garbage.
No way to see what's popular: or sorting based on voting whatsoever. Updates stream in, which means you can't subscribe to more than a few people unless you want your entire day to be gone.
Length-limited content emphasizes gotcha soundbytes, and not discussion.
No tree-based commenting: meaning I have to click into a lot of threads just to see replies.
r/The_Donald has been banned on Reddit, what's to stop those users turning Lemmy into what became of Voat?

Do you actually think that Rust can and should replace all or most other programming languages?
Genuinely serious since this is so much of a meme.
