Rust[^]
Quote: Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details
It's a Mozilla backed language and I can't help but think the world does not need another programming language. However, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's been playing with it.

Steel yourself...
Here it comes...
It'll certainly test your mettle.

OK, I'm done.

Nope! Looks like F# for Mozilla though.

aside from being a new language what is it's purpose?
to create something simpler to work vs C/C++? getting kind of burned on all of these new languages trying to create a simpler c/c++.
are pointers really that much of a problem to deal with?
you want something inspirational??

Raw pointers? yeah
Standard Library resource managers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr? no, those are quite simple.

maybe I am just old but I don't get the confusion. it could be that I spent a large part of my career in c/c++ and dealing with pointers was just something that I did.
what I used to regularly carry with me on tool belt of code tricks was code for doing smart pointers[^]. this has to be one of my most favorite patterns.

But once you make a smart pointer, they stop being raw pointers and become far less frightening
The problem isn't the pointers per se, but rather their indiscriminate use everywhere.

No, but they seem to freak a lot of people out.

Yeah, my car's got Rust all over it!
Sorry couldn't resist....

Anyone who designs a modern computer language that shortens "not immutable" to "mut" doesn't get my vote.

Nope, but I think they should have gone a little further and named the language Trust.

OR for a language design to wrap other code they could have called it Crust.

If they're cocky, they could have gone with Struts.

Like most computer languages, it's silly. Start a project with it and then try hiring someone to help or replace you. Moreover, without a rich library or framework, it has even less of a point.

Well, they are.
Yes, I just noticed the post below. Deal with it. And it didn't include Mr Kincaid, anyway. :p

This website, CODE ACADEMY[^] just appeared on my screen.
Anybody know Good or Bad about it ?
|

Doncha hate it when a website just launches its all over your monitor?
Never heard of it and don't want to.
|

Sorry for coming on wrongly.
Really, it's not my site.
I really want to know what others think
|
|

I've checked it out. I think it's basically nice.
The best part is :
http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/apis[^]
I used it to learn the SkyDrive (MS Live) API. You take it step by step and run real code.

Good publicity style.

Yikes, I'm making enemies and attracting insults.
I have seen so many "get smart here dot com" sites that they make me sick.
That's my question, is this place another one of those ?

Another learn to code site, definitely. Whatsoever, it looks promising, not only for beginner, so keeping the hang on it may be worth it.
