Last year's node.js drama? Just rewrite it in Rust!

85  2018-01-05 by bG9sIG5pY2UgdHJ5Cg

If you pay attention to the node.js world you might remember a bunch of drama surrounding Ashley Williams last year. If not, don't worry, just read this for all your juicy gossip needs. TLDR Code of Conduct champion discriminates kind of a lot but it's okay because she's only discriminating against bad races and bad genders.

I bet you're sad all that drama is over and done. Don't worry! She's just been made head of the Rust community team! Some initial concerns raised there which I sadly missed were deleted by mods because of either they were "over the line" or "we were just heading the thread off at the pass", depending on what mood the mod is in when you ask. Redditors are advised that negative criticism of project leadership is strictly forbidden.

This immediately calms everyone down and doesn't make everything worse jk lol

Don't worry though the mods have definitely given a PERFECTLY GOOD way for people to discuss their concerns. Just email the mod team privately and don't say anything in public at all ever. Problem solved.

EDIT: The "welcome" thread has since been locked, but a well-meaning rustacean is trying to "reduce the drama" by creating another thread about it. This is probably a really good idea.

tl:dr sorry; Im not smart enough to understand coding and programming stuff.

Don't worry, no programming knowledge is necessary to enjoy this drama!

you lost me at Ashley Williams, Idfk wtfti

"Tech Evangelist" and "Code Of Conduct Specialist" cry-bully trying to leech some kind of pseudo geek cachet from a bunch of hipsters

A woman who was on the board of a programming language thing used to tweet about how wypipo/men suck, and someone filed a complaint about it.

A few months later, she's made head of the community team for a different language. People start arguing because they're concerned about her opinions concerning wypipo/men.

The original drama from a year ago involved a person named Rod Vagg.

Hard to believe he's not a pornstar.

And a hermaphrodite pornstar to boot

How fat is xhe...?

I'd fuck her bussy.

yeah i cant jerk positive or negative here, she just looks really unremarkable

Homely.

smiley faces and subliminal 69, where are the children's bodys, ms. rust?

Alright I'm only going to say this once... /u/Manishearth

LOOK! LOOK! A programmer who thinks he has real testicles.

Rust, like node and angular is a garbage language for garbage code monkeys.

Real men use assembly

Real men don't do any of this nerd shit

While I get that it's the drama thing to say, making close to 6 figures in the midwest in your 20s while fucking around with nerd shit is nothing to scoff at.

Real men suck dick for crack anyway.

I'm not gay but $20 is $20

Real men use chisels and hammers you fucking pussy

real men don't use computers

What you're missing in your life is

-zero-cost abstractions -move semantics -guaranteed memory safety -threads without data races -trait-based generics -pattern matching -type inference -minimal runtime -efficient C bindings

With all that productivity, I bet there's a lot of exciting new things being written in Rust, right? Is it up there with Haskell in terms of getting shit done yet?

Unironically, yes, but mostly because it's backed by Mozilla. Parts of Firefox are written in it.

Look, what really matters is how fashionable it is not how many layers of interpreted nonsense sitting underneath it.

Its kind of upsetting to me when people who mainly do node call themselves "programmers", because its not a proper language, and requires no skill or knowledge to use. You simply google what you want to do and npm install the package / copy the stack overflow answer to snap your code together like legos.

At pretty much all serious coding companies, stack overflow is blacklisted because the people who need to use it regularly are not cut out to be programmers.

You do that in all programming languages, the only thing that changes is how many edits and fuck ups it takes to get when you want to go.

Code monkeys do that. The proper thing to do is look through a multitude of answers to understand the problem domain, then apply the proper solution (which is sometimes a copy of an answer).

It depends on how much time you have and how important the task is.

Control loop of a nuclear reactor? Better understand what you are doing.
Making user input lower case? No big deal if you copy.

True, I was more talking about copying chunks of code. However, I typically make a point of trying to understand what's going on before using anyone else's code, at the very least to develop my own analytical skills.

How can I find a non-serious coding company to join? I'm getting tired of all of this serious shit.

I think reddit is hiring

I dunno, I always thought JS was such a shitty language that node js programmers would need to be self-hating gods among men.

Yeah, cause it's a shit language and you can't solve even simple problems yourself.

are you retarded lol. I've worked at several, none of which have blocked any code help sites.

> thinking modern programmers aren't constantly looking shit up

wew lad

If you use stack overflow, you have low coding t from excessive soy consumption and you're part of the problem.

This is possibly the most retarded thing I've heard so far this year but it's ok cos you made it up

Stack overflow addicted node kiddie detected.

rust is obviously good u r dumb

Oh cool, another language's community has been usurped by a blue-haired Skrillex cut bitch after she bled the last one dry.

after she bled the last one dry.

Tragically, node.js is still spreading like cancer.

If SJWs could kill node, it would be the first good thing they've done.

Amen to that. The whole Javascript ecosystem is a mess.

Javafags go away

Meanwhile everyone doing something useful just sticks with C++.

No new software is written in C++

You're a really smart fella replying to a 5 month old thread. Plenty of new software is written in C++. What are you, some sort of student?

I'm sorry but I just had to say it. If I didn't I would have to commit seprecue, as it would bring dishonor to my family. What I mean to say is not a lot of the new applications we use day to day are written in C++, unless for necessity.

Sure they are. Just because it isn't completely dominant like it once was doesn't mean nothing gets written in it.

Did you even read my comment you empty headed animal food trough wiper?

Add a potentially breaking dependency to perform basic type checking! What could go wrong?

How about adding a dependency to add spaces to the left of a string?

dont disrespect skrillex like that, dude can craft a hit

Does skrillex actually still do stuff? I thought he was dead or something. Haven't heard that name in a long time.

he does some pop production work, plays/organizes festivals, stuff like that. pretty good case study in how to turn a fluke success into a respectable long-term career tbh.

His hair is a fucking disaster and got memed by 'oh IM not like the OTHER girls' types though, which is what I was getting at.

Yawnnnn. Fucking nerds

So mean (◞‸◟;)

Awwww! I'm sorry! Hug? (Ɔˆ ³(ˆ⌣ˆc)

I've been warned about your hugs

Oh nooo!! What did you hear? :(

Ed, you could be a node developer, you're good at cut'n'paste.

Nah I'm cool with cutting and pasting human flesh lol.

Ed_Gein_ButteredToast

I don't understand.

Ed Gein

Edward Theodore Gein (; August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984), also known as The Butcher of Plainfield, was an American murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered that Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. Gein confessed to killing two women – tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954, and a Plainfield hardware store owner, Bernice Worden in 1957. Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility.

Hahaha that's amazing!!! :D

If there's one thing that's good for a community, its to bring on someone who moves all discussion away from actual important shit whether on purpose or not.

Other people may not appreciate your title. But I appreciate your title.

I tried really hard to get a borrow checker joke out of this but failed to come up with anything good enough :(

Do any open source projects have anybody with even half a brain cell devoted to PR? I can't see why you'd ever hire someone with scandals like that. You're just asking for bullshit.

Linux

And Linus still spergs like two year old.

Npm and node run what percentage of server already?

And linux what percentage of computers?

Visibly SJW and no PR are what make one thing break into mainstream.

TBH though Google makes Android and there's no outward sperging like you see in free software. Also, I wouldn't call servers truly mainstream. The autism you see from the Linux people definitely hurts their chances at making a serious dent in the consumer PC market.

TBH though Google makes Android and there's no outward sperging like you see in free software.

Linux is the foundation of Android and Google still contributes to the Linux project IIRC.

To begin with, Linux people have nothing to do with Linux's scarcity in the consumer PC market. Its scarcity is due to a combination of Linux's late start in terms of catering to usability for the casual user and Window's sheer momentum due to its early adoption within enterprise PCs and its offering of enterprise features such as Active Directory.

Second of all, who gives a fuck about the consumer PC market? Servers and smartphones are where the real money is at.

Your first point is true. I never said that autism was the only, or even a major part of why Linux has a low adoption rate for PCs. I'd also say another big reason is that it can be difficult for many less computer savvy people to use. The average person can't go hunt for drivers because their wifi won't work. This is a result of PC manufacturers not caring about Linux, but devs haven't done enough to make it much better.

Your second point is wrong though. Just because the consumer PC market has been dwarfed by the phone market doesn't mean there still isn't a shit load of money in the market. Have you ever tried to type a paper on your phone? You'd probably kill yourself before you finished.

Android is not a linux distro tho. It just has the linux kernel. It would be like saying that windows is linux because you can put GNU on it.

Linux Foundation owns the NodeJS Foundation

anyone know what kind of salary she'd be on in this new rust gig?

6 figures at least

What kind of community manager is on six figures lmao

Well known feminist mayo?

INB4 MUH WAGE GAPPER

Lmfao nope.

Ruby's CoC was actually not-retarded, so it caused a shit storm.

A CoC for shit like this should basically be don't be an asshole and be mildly professional.

Dumb unfuckable nerds.

tl;dr: Kill all men/targeting mayos = joke, kill/target anyone else = bad.

Jokes aside, if your 'joke' targets a group of people and nobody in that group laughs, it's probably a shitty joke.

I can't wait till the next drama thread when she tweets something inflammatory again.

Good thing men have a sense of humor then, unlike ladies.

Jokes aside, the sooner the mayocide comes for both the beckies and the chads, the better.

I thought it was Stacies and Chads

She's been a bit of a drama queen since even before the node.js debacle. She started this big hysterical catfight with Shepard when he was trying to stop the Collectors. Both sides were really dumb in my opinion.

I didn't knew Node.js had such great contributors.

More seriously, if we started firing people because they are racist or sexist, there wouldn't be many people left in programming, fam.

there wouldn't be many people left in programming, fam.

Just according to plan..

RIP Rust.

Press turbofish to pay respects.

Look she's a valuable member of the coding team. Who else is going to take the time to tell the other members how they should act, and what they should think and say.

Now I'll extra not play it. That'll show them.

I guess this isn't about the video game, which I realized after almost posting this but taking a baby out of a woman's Rusty uteris doesn't matter because it's already an abortion that will never be finished.. How's that for early access and intersectionality
