That's like saying php is close to haskell because they both have garbage collection.

Comparing Rust to C++ feels strange to me.

It’s like people do it just because Zig is very comparable to C. So the more complex Rust must be like something else that is also complex, right? And C++ is complex, so…

But that is a bit nonsensical. Rust isn’t very close to C++ at all.

That’s git commits.

It is fun to kick a guywire and watch the single pulse travel along the wire, be reflected and come back.

That’s what I’m saying. We should tame the chaos, not encourage it.

The screw sorting machines don’t generally decide to start spitting out resistors instead.
