Woof. Back before rust was a thing in uni all the c++ guys shat on the newbies using java and not a real language.
The entire rust vs c++\c vs zig vs odin etc is so stupid. Like it is the same culture that has always been there in elitist systems language people. Meanwhile the vast majority of programmers are happily clacking away in python or js or elm or lua or whatever is getting the job done.
