Readit NewsIMHO async is an anti-pattern, and probably the final straw that will prevent me from ever finishing learning Rust. Once one learns pass-by-value and copy-on-write semantics (Clojure, PHP arrays), the world starts looking like a spreadsheet instead of spaghetti code. I feel that a Rust-like language could be built with no borrow checker, simply by allocating twice the memory. Since that gets ever-less expensive, I'm just not willing to die on the hill of efficiency anymore. I predict that someday Rust will be relegated to porting scripting languages to a bare-metal runtime, but will not be recommended for new work.
That said, I think that Rust would make a great teaching tool in an academic setting, as the epitome of imperative languages. Maybe something great will come of it, like Swift from Objective-C or Kotlin from Java. And having grown up on C++, I have a soft spot in my heart for solving the hard problems in the fastest way possible. Maybe a voxel game in Rust, I dunno.
Go on https://lowendbox.com and get a cheap cheap cheap VPS. Use ssh SOCKS proxy in your browser to send web traffic through it.
Very unfancy, a 30+ year old solution, but uses such primitive internet basics that it will almost certainly never fail. Builtin to everything but Windows (which afaik doesn't have an ssh client built-in).
Tailscale is also super fantastic.
What is "problematic" a code word for?
