Yup right in my room preferably, keeps the heating bill down

Yeah nuclear waste is super overblown we can very easily store it away which isn't exactly great but we fuckn bury our garbage so I'm cool with putting nuclear waste in some sort of vault
Nuclear is very expensive to build it's the cheapest to maintain. Even accounting for horrible disasters like Chernobyl it's safer and less polluting. But yes, renewables are great! Most of our power where I live is from a dam. My grandpa had his house heated primarily via solar energy. They generated enough power through solar that they were able to sell it off to the energy dudes. When solar was bad they'd get power from the nearby wind turbines or the dam. All this stuff is great, it's way better than coal but a single nuclear plant would out perform all of that energy generation and ultimately, cost less.
Well I'm not calling anyone an oil shill so I'm sure you'll feel very persecuted no matter what's said to you
Huh? Bro what. What kinda oil shill would be promoting fuckn nuclear
Nuclear is unexpectedly safer and less polluting than renewables. That's including stuff like Chernobyl. Also less expensive overall. The plant itself is expensive yes but for the energy output/cost per watt it's by far cheaper last I checked.
It produces extremely long-lasting waste, on timescales humans are not equipped to deal with.
Very little waste compared to burning coal or oil which also produces waste we aren't equipped to deal with. See oh idk global warming.
There's a couple grifters who pretend (or are stupid enough) to think so yes. It's like the "doctors" the anti vax guys point at
I think primarily I don't really care to argue about if it's harder to write or not since it doesn't really matter. I think the pros Rust provides are worth all it's cons
I'd probably say it depends but I'm no Rust expert and I have no direct experience with C (though quite familiar with C++).
Basically I'd expect writing C to be easy, but not safe. IE you can quickly and easily write C that compiles but has runtime issues. Rust for the most part will catch everything but logic issues during/before compilation meaning once the program runs you'll have very high confidence in it's runtime behavior leading to time spent "fighting the compiler" instead of figuring out wtf is going wrong at runtime.
What Rust provides is statically guaranteed memory safety. Some C++ types will prevent memory issues however the language itself is unsafe. Playing with raw pointers is just as valid as using std::unique_ptr. In Rust however you must sign a contact (using unsafe) in order to play with raw pointers. Unsafe is you the programmer promising that you followed the rules. This is like how C++ says it's illegal to write UB and your program will break (and it's your fault) but enforced through a special type of block
Oh a serious note sure, most nuclear waste is actually PPE which is only mildly radioactive. Uranium glass will give you more radiation exposure than a bin of that stuff
