      Have you thought about the fact that some people prefer to consume content is this form?

        That some can and already do that on the video sites they already browse.

        People like shorts too, but that doesn’t mean Lemmy should be infested with such content.

            Generally yes, unless it’s the original source of a story.
            e-celeb content and news aggregators are never the original source of a story.

    “Attacks”.

    The Caeser cipher used to be a valid cryptography method, and then it was not.

    What does this imply? That the creator of C++ thought that their language would be the end all be all?

    Tough news for them I guess, but no, it is not. On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.

    To call superior innovations an “attack” is one of the most folly things one can do.

    Before someone asks what makes Rust superior, the very fact that the C++ creator is using the term “attack” here should very well be evidence enough, because it is an ad hominem fallacy. Instead of criticizing Rust, because they cannot find a valid way to, they choose instead to attack the character of Rust users.

      On a long enough timeline, neither is Rust probably, but such is the price of innovation.

      It is always so weird to me that people literally seem to believe that complex inventions like programming languages are something we got to perfection within 20 (in C’s case) or 30 (in C++'s case) years of the advent of our industry. Especially considering an iteration cycle is somewhere in the decade or longer range for these. I would expect this to improve for at least a couple of hundred years before we reach the point where nothing new can be added to existing programming languages that is worth starting over with a new language to reap the benefits.
