Pro Tip: Learn an old programming language. , , ; or if you’re hardcore. All of these have modern tooling. Don’t tie yourself solely to modern platform politics.

Google absolutely will abandon you, Microsoft will force you to upgrade, will never really improve, isn’t going to get smaller or easier and is going to become one ugly custody battle as big-tech fights to control the only chance we’ve ever had to move on from C.

@kroc I'm especially sad about the Rust part because Rust is a really fun programming language to use (at least, imo) and I don't really want to see it become shit...

@thacuber2a03 Rust will continue to be a great language but we might not know what we’re missing out on if Rust gets ‘paralysis by committee’ as has become the case with C & C++ where even the right ideas can’t make it off the ground because too many internal forces are fighting each other for their preferred idea. Regardless, the memory-safe cat is out of the bag now and if Rust should ever fail to meet need, another language will arrise to meet that demand
