Confession: I wholeheartedly hate Rust. It just sucks. The build system is ok (not great, not terrible) and the fact it can compile into WASM is nice. Everything else just plainly sucks.

Otherwise I'm not religious, I can handle and enjoy most languages.

When I hear a project is being rewritten in Rust, it's sad news. People waste time on the rewrite instead of the features and it stops being improvable for me.

I hope this Rust mania ends soon and we can all go back to nice programmer friendly languages.

Rust is computational Marxism.

What are some programming languages that you like most?

It never appealed to me, the features it has don't interest me. Safe programming doesn't sound fun to me. That's my take.

Then what languages meet your approval?

It takes some courage nowadays. Allow me to add JS (react, node, vue, NPM…)

Once I decided to give it a chance for an microcontroller hobby project, but when I read first code examples, I wanted to vomit from the syntax. (Same with React’s JSX)

When I read they want to rewrite some project to Rust I usually feel good because this means they will probably clean old code full of memory-unsafe code with potential security bugs. But refactoring to memory-safe C++ methods would fix it also.

But but but, it's memory safe

There is not a single reason why you hate it. People that care about code quality love it. I know what kind you are, from this confession.
