If I may add something more: *The error messages are too helpful:* The error messages are too helpful, to the point where telling your boss you haven't managed to get any work done because you were trying to fix a compilation error is no longer a valid excuse.

[@fasterthanlime]

Please enjoy the following deleted scene, straight from the original script: Bad for job security, again: when you make a mistake the Rust compiler not only tell you where and why, but it also tells you how to fix it. Sometimes it will even offer to fix it itself! Mark my words: the machines are taking our jobs. I want you to look Duncan in the eyes and tell him: I'm sorry Duncan, the special compiler error intervention team has been downsized. Do you think Duncan wants to do feature work? No! Duncan is out of a job now. Woe is them, another victim of progress.

[@friendlyoctopus9391]

The true measure of a compiler's productivity is the number of lines of error messages it produces. Therefore my c++ compiler while I am writing templates simply puts the (frankly, lazy) rust compiler to shame.

I know right. Feels like the compiler loves me so much that it secretly wants to adopt me, and `Clippy` wants to cuddle me to death.

You should put more effort into it, it will pay off.

Or, alternatively, put Rust away for now, get a middle level of proficiency at C++ (should only take a few years), then realise that C++ is fast but sucks ass, and come back to Rust, which will now feel easy. Regarding the community, you must be joking. It's one of the best.

I love how people using rust are neglecting the primary usage of C a d C++ (high performance computing). No HFT trading firm or scientific institution is ever going to use Rust over C/C++ simply for the fact its less configurable to optimize for micro optimization, is too restrictive (even in unsafe mode) and does not allow you to optimize the code to a certain degree to produce a binary with a better runtime. Also tools and libraries for C/C++ are more advanced and understood. Comparing C/C++ with Rust is like comparing a F1 car with a supercar. Yes a supercar is plenty fast but a F1 cars primary and secondary purpose is too traverse a circuit as fast as possible, so it will always be faster. The safety, beauty or usability of an F1 are none considerations, only that it goes fast.
