  • Yeah. Once you get used to the (verbose, but by no means unergonomic!) syntax, you’ll probably never be happy with another language again. Job-wise, I am currently mostly using Go, and while also a nice language, I miss the confidence and security I took for granted with rust.

    Not to mention just how goddamn expressive rust can be. Let bindings like if ok/err, else return? Assign from a match on Some(Ok(x))? Filter, map, and friends on any iterator? Oh my GOD the error handling with the question mark iterator? 100% confidence that if it compiles, no error, possible null value, or case is unhandled.

    And all this WHILE giving you the amazing security benefits!

    Ah, damn, caught me proselytizing again.
















  • It might, very very slightly go down. But the way you have to think about a media is this:

    Put all 342 million Americans in a single line, sorted by net worth from west to east in increasing order. Find the person standing in the middle, i.e. person 171 million. That’s the median net worth.

    Now remove the top 10 richest people, i.e. behead the snake politely ask the 10 people standing easternmost to leave the line. Now to find the new median, go back to the original median person and move five to the left. That’s the new median.

    Most likely, you’d have a negligible amount of change. Maybe a couple of bucks.

    ALso note that for this it does not matter just HOW rich the richest persons are.
