ancient amateur C coder here (not even c++). picked up python about 5 years ago (cuz why not?). been playing around with rust for a bit (like it so far). only issue is recoded tools getting released under mit license instead of gpl (cuz, get off my lawn!).

Yep, agreed that the license change is an actual issue

not even c++

You dodged a bullet. I much prefer writing in C to C++.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

yeah. I took one look at c++ and gagged at what had been done to my beautifully tight, simple language. it just felt like such a bolt-on.

python fit neatly into a void. then came rust. that got me interested again.

nah, keep on, gpl is superior.
