Exploring Programming Paradigms: C# and Rust Side by Side – Chris Woody Woodruff

That was quite interesting, and greatly appreciated. Many times happens to me to feel like trying something new, but the sheer amount of stuff to research, understand and deploy before being able to write a single line of code, becomes a "better not" mountain. Spreaders like you, help a lot people like me :)

So, on the matter itself! Please take this with a grain of salt: everytime I see languages like Rust, I end up wondering what kind of people feels like writing code like that in this millenia?

I always feel surprised that very few modern language designs remember that we are in 2025, and that we dont need to use each and every alternative character on the keyboard to write powerful code. Yes, all languages can get convoluted and cryptic at times... but what the hell is this?

fn divide(a: i32, b: i32) -> Result<i32, &'static str> {

When you look at a similar line written in Python, Pascal, Basic, C, C#, javascript, java, D, even C++, you'll inmediately know whats going. In rust, I inmediately know I need to read the manual.

Until some people behind this flamboyant and promising new offerings get teir act together on this matter, most will never reach public like C# coders. But something tells me that having a cult, niche language is in fact what they want to feel. I just honestly feel for people like you that from their hearts try to promote it, while it seems to me that is by design, that is leaving people out.
