I think it’s a couple of things

Western chauvinism inculcates “those are bad countries doing bad things in a bad system” which takes a lot to unlearn.

Authority can and always is abused for corruption and has been abused for corruption in communist systems, which in part justifies the charge that any system with structural authority will be abused for corruption.

Angst vibes lead to a “fuck every system” attitude.

By standing against all authority structures that actually exist or have existed, they are immune to criticisms based on reality, so I think to a degree it’s a stand you take when you want to take a stand but don’t want to accept that reality is always flawed.

Communist states are often militaristic which sits uncomfortably close to nationalism.

My only real criticisms of rust are aesthetical. I never liked how C++ is full of macros and :: and <> and rust inherits that a bit.

I use Go because of the work I do right now, which is deep in Kubernetes and APIs for which Go is just more convenient. Protobuf and K8S are of course supported by rust and many other languages as well, but in Go it’s simply easy… Go was designed from the bottom up to write APIs basically so it’s good at that. And most, almost all, of the K8S ecosystem uses Go which means I’d need a good reason not to use Go for that since standardization, interoperability, and ecosystem are key concerns.

You can use rust for this too, for sure no problem. But with Go you’re doing all of that pretty much out of the box.

The Go ecosystem in general is a little bit stronger due to higher adoption, although I wouldn't really call that a weakness of rust.

And finally less people use Rust which is another consideration for long term maintenance concerns, but to be fair Go adoption is also low.

I’m never an evangelist for any language. Well, if I could simply write everything in typescript I would to be honest because I think it’s just swell but obviously its not for this use case, and the above are the reasons why I use Go and get my teams to use Go for the use case of services, Kubernetes controllers, and since we want to use Go for those things we then also use Go for other random things like CLIs etc just because it makes sense to limit tech stack sprawl.

The problem is that the dems didn’t capture enough GOP voters. They really need to reach across the aisle and appeal to the MAGA base.

My song was perfect, the dance routine flawless, and the yodeling on point

I really want Go but without a garbage collector is that too much to ask

This is the most important vote in history democracy itself is on the line this is the final chance to stop fascism oh he won yeah sure I work for him now

It’s amazing how they see this as a cleansing away and not just a change of shift between swamp monsters

All part of Ukraine’s plan to divert troops from Kamchatka

Charlie Kirk is literally the most common model. You ask for a “some white dude” and I give you a Charlie Kirk.

Now that you’ve won why don’t you just surrender to make it easier for us to acknowledge that you’ve won

Massive escalation isn’t a real option. The idea that the USA can field half a million men in Europe isn’t real.

They could escalate to nukes or they could occupy a buffer zone in western Ukraine and dare Russia to use nukes.

Going head to head against Russia in Ukraine without nukes isn’t realistic. It would simply mean more meat for the grinder.

wtf it’s been almost 24 hours since trump won and the Ukraine war is still going wtf
