And a day later, he made a video of being like, I'm done with Rust. And I watched the video and, you know, it was like a really good, reasonable video. It wasn't like, Rust sucks. You shouldn't use it. It was just like...
And a day later, he made a video of being like, I'm done with Rust. And I watched the video and, you know, it was like a really good, reasonable video. It wasn't like, Rust sucks. You shouldn't use it. It was just like...
he's used it a bunch he's been in that phase where he loved it he's been in the phase where he like was really enamored by some of the ideas about it and now he's in the phase where he feels like you know it's just really really really really heavy for what he's getting out of it and um he's just like not super happy with where it actually ends up practically I think it's very reasonable.

And he's like, I just want something simpler that is still low level, that feels better. And he's like, I'm just not having fun writing this anymore. It's like the parts that I enjoy it don't make up for the parts that are painful. So I was like, this is very reasonable. And that was also my same feelings around Rust, which is why I don't really use it for anything anymore.

But people got really mad about it. And people are just saying... The reason I was thinking about it is I saw a comment being like, he doesn't understand Rust. That's why he's saying this. He doesn't understand it. He's not really a Rust user. I'm just like... No, the stuff he brought up is, like, you can't get to there unless you've, like, been through the whole journey.

Yeah, and I'm sure that there's like genuine cases where someone wouldn't have heard about it if not for that. And they ended up using it in a very good situation. Like I think about my years with Elixir that were so formative to like me understanding distributed systems and like just so much impact, like functional part of a bunch of stuff that impacted me.
