including other water molecules?

I sold my car to make space in the garage.

obviously in turn paling in comparison to a well-made flipbook and a live orchestra

but it didn't do jack shit to help me believe that. Because they did not say that that was the goal. So there was no credibility to affect in the first place.

Also, your argument does not make sense anyway. As a native language, due to some extra copying needed and some runtime checks that cannot be elided, it is slower than c++. It can be almost as fast, really close, but ever so slightly slower.

Electron is written in c++. A native language. A native language faster than rust (we're talking about speed not safety here). And yet, it is the canonical example of "bloated and slow". If you were to rewrite electron in rust, it'd be safer, but also at least just as slow.

So if the editor really is faster, it's not because the code was written in rust. It's because the devs are writing better code. That's why just saying it's written in rust is useless.

translating readable, maintainable code to an unmaintanable mess to solve a couple of issues thit might not be there in the first place, is not so much a winning proposition.

An os? sure. A text editor? not so much

so fucking say that. Designed to be fastest editor. Show benchmarks. Talk about your features. I still don't care what tools you used to achieve it. It being written in rust does not automatically make things fast. It may even slow things down, in some cases.

I don't care how easy it is for the developer. And modern c++ is slightly harder than rust, but not all that difficult to get right with smart pointers and iterators etc.

So they should say that it is written with performance in mind. I don't care how you achieved that. rust, c++, assembly, whatever.

Mention that it has very good collaborative editing.

Mention features.

start with python to do what? learning a language is not the same a s learning programming. Heck most languages can be learned in an hour or two. Programming is another beast altogether.

A person can learn to use a hammer in minutes, but it doesn't make them a carpenter.

Find a project you want to build, and start building it. solve problems, and learn along the way. Learning "python" on its own will not help you learn programming in any way. Programming stuff will.

built from the ground up with rust. Why the fuck is that the first and usually only (non-)feature to mention in any project written in rust? Who the fuck cares?

I fucking hate the rust cult.

i have that installed on my work pc. Hasn't bit me in the ass yet. I work in a datacenter

i do have and use that. But it's still running android apps. which are designed for a touchscreen.

Termux is great though

search perchlorate and fireworks, and you immediately get to know which country I'm from.

carbon neutral is when you don't emit it in the first place, not by paying someone else to promise to make up for it later.

fuck no. It's imbossible to be productive on an android or ios phone, where the os is hostile to you actually using it the way you want.

For an example of rethinking desktop security, see wayland in linux, and how ll accessibility programs now don't cannot possibly work.

it's opt-in, per app. Meaning unless old apps are patched and recompiled, they will be inaccessible.

it means that you have to manually reposition every single window, every single time. for any and all apps, by design

note: on most computers, it worked the opposite to how one would think. Turning it on slowed your cpu to around 33 MHz

more like "move glacially and declare things as "will not support' so technically we had nothing TO fix!"
