E.g. There isn’t even a standard set object, everyone just implements it as a map pointing to empty structs, and you get familiar with that and just accept it and learn to understand what it means when someone added an empty struct to a map.
Goooood fucking gravy.
I hate to be such an opinionated programmer, but everything I’ve read about Go only reinforces my negative opinion, especially since I read this now-famous article.
Assuming you’re monotheistic, I believe you can use an mpsc channel to send those asynchronously.
You’ve probably covered 90% of use cases there so you’re doing well!
I’m trying to port your code to Rust but the compiler keeps giving me an error about non-exhaustive match arms 
The one, fool-proof solution to supply chain attacks? Write all your own dependencies. 
Aren’t the gaps in dialogue way too long though? Or did MASH do okay with that
I knew someone who did overnight chicken catching (to get them from the barn into the truck to go off to slaughter) and lasted about twenty minutes. The straw was accidentally dropping a chicken two stories because of the time pressure; shit like that is commonplace in animal agriculture.
The crew lead told them it was fine and they could wait in the van until the end of the shift. He made a comment like, “yeah you have to have a bit of a screw loose to work a job like this.”
That story sticks with me a lot when I think about the conditions for both labourers and animals that are necessary to get meat onto the table.
Oooof, good to know. I have a bit more of a low level C brain at root so I see the appeal of Go, but never had enough of a reason to get into C++. I’ve only really used C# and JS/JS frameworks professionally.
Rust is an absolute joy to work with. The strong typing, the hands-on memory management, the functional elements, the build system, the helpful compiler errors and warnings, the magical feeling that comes when your first successful compile since refactoring just works, the queer-friendly community… just the perfect language for the way my brain operates.
I’m lucky to be unemployed at the moment and have time to make my own projects with tools of my choosing. There are definitely some barriers to using it in most workplaces, but most of those come down to adoption inertia and the fact that the language is still “new” - new in the sense that it’s not mature enough to have a mature enough frontend framework that has a mature enough third party component library for easy plug and play. Filling out all the corners that older languages have is gonna take a while.
