Couldn't they have named rust better ?

Maybe they got a bit rusty

i like it being called rust tbh.

it's not some shiny framework, that gets replaced in half a years time, but will power a system for a long time.

Probably, but does the name really matter?

Oxidize was taken

@zlice But "Rust lang" doesn't have any naming conflicts. Not like it's called microwave oven or whatever

@12bitfloat would "Microwave oven lang" have any naming conflicts then? :P

Well, Python's in the same boat

@ScriptCoded If its literally called "microwave oven lang" I guess not :P

@webketje Or C, Perl, Carbon, Basic, B, Bash, Batch, Crystal, Dart and a bunch of others

Naming things is hard

Didn't Rust get its name from Rust fungus?

Rust would be a great name if it was a mix between F and Ocaml

I mean, there are also languages like C, R, D, B. I'd say Rust is fine.

You have no posts.

@zlice If you ask me, it could be helped by tagging, that is if it's used. Plus "rust" doesn't appear much as a literal word in comments now that Rust language is a thing :) What I agree about is that search features in issue trackers are oblivious.

Close to metal, handling things decade old languages have been handling until now… The name seems right to me

@12bitfloat not if the documentation is good.

And honestly, i'm having a good time by looking into docs.rs for rust

@Linux that would have been a name ! It's one of those things that sounds impressive even though it's meaning is the opposite.. sigh

@webketje why did they name it after something that chokes and eats mice and pigs and anything else it can swallow anyway ?

@12bitfloat yeah but those are good names

C is a tad lazy though

@kiki what ?

Calling themselves rustacean is pure cringe

@kiki everyone needs to move on
This is simply put bullshit

@kiki tori's happy interpretation doesn't hold
People have been doing their whacked out retard shit way too long they're breaking the rules

@aviophile yes all over eh ?
Stop rolling back tech!!!
