I am not cosigning the particular points made against Rust, because I don’t have context, but the particular language is not irrelevant, because the post is calling out social and cultural practices, and Programming languages are largely social and cultural institutions. Part of Rust’s success is due to how intentional the initial core users and developers where about this dimension of the PL.

Tell that to the hundreds of researchers who have their entire research programs and funding prospects thrown into the air, and/or outright cancelled.

Fucking bizarre take to lob at someone fleeing a country rapidly falling to fascism and ethnic cleansing.

These are places I would consider if I were able to go back to school:

• https://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/ece/degree-options/electrical-and-computer-engineering-phd/
• https://grad.uwo.ca/admissions/programs/program.cfm?p=41
• https://uwaterloo.ca/electrical-computer-engineering/doctor-philosophy-phd
• https://www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/program/electrical-engineering-phd
• https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/programs/electrical-and-computer-engineering/

Yep, this basically is a government subsidy to the service industry, which then removes funds from essential government programs, like health and education.

Another step towards an illibertarian hellscape. :(
