People wrote Java and Python using punch cards? Hmmm...

If you read the article, you'd see solid reasons about the reason certain things are not recommended to be developed using Rust.

Read it, you might just learn something. Or does user name check out?

on handouts from the 1% to fund the advancement of our civilization. That's how they did it for centuries until gov'ts got involved, and progress was really, really slow.

Instead of modding me down, try telling me why it wouldn't be a good place. Don't be a coward.

As in, "Make America safe again," right?

Oh, wait...

What about the human cost?

This is Slashdot. You just went over most posters' heads. At best, you'll just get blank stares.

You'd think the slobbering morons who append "-gate" after everything, like some sort of misguided hipster buzzword, would eventually get tired of it and stop. Apparently not.

That's right. Sanders is Ron Paul all over again . . . except where he isn't! Brilliant Slashdot logic!

Wow, you sure pay a lot of attention to these groups.

On the other hand, what if he had been wearing a turban, instead of a stormtrooper costume?

The entire school would have been closed down for a week, Congress would be scrambling for new laws to "protect our children from turra!!!" and Fox News would still, even now, be on site with 24/7 coverage.

Mod parent way way up! It's absolutely false in this context, so, in the proud Slashdot tradition, it deserves to be modded +5, Informative so that all the nerds can proudly trumpet yet more misinformation to the world!

No, not a Democrat, just a troll who knows that there are overly sensitive people on Slashdot. He knows what to say to yank their chains. It obviously worked on you.

Wow, you're a sad, bitter asshole, aren't you? Either that, or you just turned thirteen, you are out for some of teh lulz, and you forgot to check the "Post Anonymously" box.

When someone calls themselves a rock star, that's a pretty darn reliable indicator that they aren't very good. Certainly nowhere near as good as they think they are. It's also a pretty good indicator that they are arrogant and don't get along with people very well.

On Fox News, that probably earned the reporter a nice promotion.

Some of the things people said about him were nuttier than that. This guy called him "a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the “Mr. New Castrati” voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program." So that is supposed to have some sort of effect on his analysis?

All he did was take polls that already existed--lots of them--and do statistical analysis on them. Just ran the numbers, and didn't speculate. Contrast that with sites like this one, which, although quite pompous, was stuck in its own alternate reality and ended up being quite wrong.
