It’s dumb culture war bullshit, but instead of revolving around black characters in media, it’s about a programming language. While there are legitimate critiques of both Rust and interoperating it with a legacy C codebase like Linux (and some people did in the mailings, even if a bit poorly communicated), It almost always boils down to how memory safety supposed to make development much easier, or the dreaded “Code of Conduct”.

The biggest programming language culture warriors are often not even mainline C devs, but Javascript/Python devs that idolize the suffering of system devs. Others are just people who tell you to use Python if you want an “easy and productive” language instead of dealing with programming language jank that was needed in the 70’s when RAM was extremely limited.

The anti-CoC crowd barely even codes. At least when Walter Bright and co. started to throw out chud adjacent people from D, it’s popularity decline reversed, although it also coincided with other changes in the language governance. It seems like the nazis didn’t even code, just were around to push D as a rival to Rust as a memory safe language, even if D’s memory safety features are more opt-in in nature (safe by default can be achieved by putting @safe: just after the module declaration).

D has a way for GC free operation, the easiest way is by using it in BetterC mode. The harder way is writing your own runtime without a GC.

1. Dumb culture wars around programming languages.
2. It a lot different from C. In C, you have Typeidentifier variable;, in Rust you have let mut variable : Typeidentifier;, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
3. Some of its safety features (including RAII - a favorite feature of marcan) are both detrimental to the performance and hard or impossible to opt out from.

Especially as there’s D, a language that when used in betterC mode, is on-par with C, minus the archaic precompiler, which is replaced with very powerful metaprogramming capabilities.

And that’s why you use local instances…

They usually don’t care, they just claim some imaginary East-Asian country banned any kind of self-expression to the point all people are wearing the same clothes, which made crime disappear over night or some similar bullshit. They want to claim humans are not different by nature.

Some parts of some DEI initiatives were dumb during the BLM protests, therefore we must do digital nazi bookburnings.🤡

The author got backstabbed and almost killed by Stalinists, who turned on them instead of fighting the fascists.

Some really talented hacker really needs to get their hands on the pee tape or whatever they have on Trump (I fear it’ll be a video recording made on the Epstein island).

> uses ai slop to illustrate it

“Free market” was nothing but a propaganda term…

Does Wayland has its own Mastodon instance? If yes, they could do a funny.

Trump executive order on the copyrightability of AI output in 3…

Intellectual property theft for me but not for thee!

Issue with that, they would love to have “chipless” cars they can repair with a screwdriver and a wrench.

Ukraine “choose” the war by not wanting to be a Russian satellite state anymore.

I can count quite a few people, who have similar concerns about Palestinians, yet here we are…

Yes, and because there are Nazis in their army and refuse to hold elections in a war-thorn country, they all deserve to either be killed with the pretense of being nazis, being their children kidnapped and given to Russian families, and beaten and raped until they forget that ugly Russian dialect some dare to call “the Ukrainian language”.🤡
