I haven't but that wasn't my point at all when saying that. It is on a hype train, whether that hype is justified or not is not what I was trying to get at. What I was saying was that this hype and massive surge in use and publicity causes an inevitable bias which clouds judgement when deciding whether or not to use it. That crowd of programmers that seem to hop on every computer fad, the ones that have been adding hashtag reactjs to their twitter posts for the past year, they're probably going to choose rust regardless of whether or not it should actually be used. The bitter contrarian is probably deciding not to use it because he's sick of seeing it mentioned in every other tech blog post in the past year. As soon as this hype dies off, both of these groups can move on and hopefully decide whether rust is actually worth using for whatever they need done.

I would use it if it's the right tool for the job. I just want to stop seeing it mentioned 20+ times a day and snuck into blog posts that started off as critiques/comparisons of two other languages.

So the author can't solve a problem, goes ahead to say that javascript is c because of one situation, then promotes rust by the end. All with a clickbait title to boot.

I'd be more angry but this type of formula for an article is used so often now that it should be expected.

I can't wait until people figure out that the individuals that aren't competent enough to handle C's issues, aren't going to be competent enough to handle Rust's either.

Hopefully the Rust hype train dies soon. There is simply too much bandwaggoning involved in this language to keep bias out of the equation when considering using it to solve a problem.

> In all seriousness, if you expect such a small company could build a decent phone, on a new Linux platform, on their first try, on schedule, then you're divorced from reality.

Oh no, of course the individual(s) that promised those things aren't divorced from reality. It's the consumer that paid money and expected the product they were that's divorced from reality...

Funny how quick you are to point the blame at someone who just went ahead and thought they'd get what they paid for, on time.

What a skewed perception.

At the age of 28, I still receive help from my mother. She buys me food periodically and has given me well over $1500 this year to help survive.

That being said, I grew up in an abusive household, followed up by one that was incredibly unstable. I was incarcerated from most 16-21, with very little time out in the real world during that time.

Another person responding to this mentioned that parents "either pay for it now or later."

I find that to be incredibly true. I think that my mother helps me so much now because she sees how much I've struggled and how some of that struggle is inevitably due to her choices. I don't blame her, but(and this may sound incredibly entitled to some)I don't think she has too much of a right to throw me to the wolves so to speak. I can't remember a time I've been stable outside of the past 2-3 years and even now, I'm actively using IV opiates. A large chunk of my life seemed very much outside of my hands at a younger age and I don't necessarily know how much more I could've done for myself other than get to the point I'm at now.

I think a lot of people are messed up and need a lot of help. I think that if you make the decision to bring someone into this world, you don't stop being responsible for them after an arbitrary amount of rotations around the sun.

I would've loved to go to college and buy a home during those time periods. Please don't act like it's the same as nowadays. Sure, there were struggles but the dollar was simply worth much more, education was much cheaper, and a house cost way less than it does now.
