C vs Rust

Name: Anonymous 2015-02-13 1:07

C:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int r;
if(argc > 1) {
r = atoi(argv[1]);
} else {
usage();
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}


Rust:
fn main() {
let argv: Vec<Result<String,OsString>> = std::env::args()
.map(|x| x.into_string())
.collect();

let r = match argv.get(1) {
Some(x) => match x.parse::<i32>() {
Ok(v) => v,
Err(_) => {
show_usage();
panic!()
},
},
None => {
show_usage();
panic!()
}
}
}


Type explosion is to be expected. Do notation could have been used to keep the control logic as clean as C, but Rust is not HASKAL and never will be anything like HASKAL and you're an asshole for wanting to write readable code you filthy shit fuck.

The only people who shill Rust are people who haven't actually used it.

Yes the safety mechanisms are great in theory.

Yes we need a modernized version of C++.

But try to actually write something bigger than FizzBuzz in the fucking language and you'll quickly see why it'll never take off: Working in Rust is a bitch. It's inconvenient, has convoluted non-intuitive syntax and is just simply not fun.
