    For this to be accurate you need to change it to “why don’t you rewrite it in rust”? Rust fans say this so often they made it an acronym (RIIR).

    This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because “Python is just for scripting.”

        Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I’m actually going to get the thing done.

          Indeed. It doesn’t have to run fast if we are talking applications where performance isn’t important.

    Beginner developers when they realize that the programming language that you use changes from a case to case basic:

    Even though I’m mostly a Python programmer now I don’t do this but i know so many Python programmers who do this; the thing that is even more annoying is when some of them make up shit trying to prove python is better for a usecase they know NOTHING about

    No, no. Python is for harassing the beginners, who can’t switch from anything yet.

    Rust is for switching to.
