Like it or not, C++ is never going to

die. Alex, every single chance I get on

Acne News, I say we should just let the

language die. So, I've heard a lot of

complaints about C++. What's your beef

with C++?

>> C++ doesn't give you very much to work

with like package management, sane

runtimes, there's nothing like an IP

address built into the standard library.

There's no networking support. So,

people build their own stuff on top of

it over and over again every other year.

You've got like 17 package managers.

None of them interoperate with each

other. you've got a few de facto run

times and you get more all the time. For

a language like Rust, you got some good

stuff to work with and then you can

actually start building the thing that

you care about instead of designing your

own runtime. I've seen a lot of people

complain though that with Rust, your

code must be perfect to compile, which

is cool and that like there's all sorts

of bugs, memory management stuff and

threading problems that people make in

C++ all the time that are impossible to

make in Rust. But if you're just playing

around, that can be really frustrating.

If you're just trying to try a concept

out, you have to get your code perfect.

If there's a problem like that that

you're facing in C++, you either

shouldn't have written it in C++, you

should have written it in Python. It's

good to do the upfront cost of doing it

the right way. You know, there are some

like baseline issues that you can get

out of the way with something like Rust

that will cost you time and a lot of

money down the line if you can even find

them and actually fix them. It's good to

do things right if you're if you're

writing things like on a systems level,

actually talking to the colonel. But

sometimes I'm goofing around, right? I

just have an idea. Would it be cool if

we did this? And by the time I program

it up, I realize it's a stupid idea.

>> Do it in Python. Don't do that in the

rest. Of course not. Yeah. I mean,

>> that's actually what I do. I actually do

it in Python, but I'm imagining I might

do it in Rust someday. And you're right,

it's not what I do at all.

>> Most problems can be solved with Python.

It's the second best language and

everything.

>> Yeah. So, the problem with Python is

that it's slow. Rust is lightning fast.

>> Yeah. I mean, it's one of the design

goals of the language. Be able to have

tight control over the memory without

blowing yourself up.

>> All right, you win. Let's burn C++ to

the ground.

Come on. If Rust is so great, why is

Speedify written in C++? I don't know.

Oh, was that my what I'm supposed to

say?

>> Oh, I'm like literally asking you.

>> Oh, Beat was started 10 years ago and

Rust wasn't really an option back then,

but maybe it's coming along. We have

some particular requirements that I'm

not totally sure. We're getting there.

In conclusion, I want you to subscribe.
