This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I'm not speaking for Rust level performance. I'm using Rust nowadays, because it's generally doing a lot right, that other popular languages struggle with IMO.
Think about error handling. I think even Java is better here than C#. I think it's quite a mistake, not being required to add all possible exception types that a function can throw to the function signature.
Then the next thing, I really hate about almost every popular language is implicit
null
. To be really safe, you have to check every (non-primitive) variable fornull
before using it, otherwise you have a potentialNullPointerException
.Then take pattern matching, this is a baked in feature of Rust from the beginning and it does this really well (exhaustive matching etc.). There's "basic" pattern matching in C#, but it just doesn't really feel right in the language, and is not even close in capability compared to Rusts.
All of this (and more) makes Rust the less error-prone language, which I can say with confidence after long experience with both of these languages (both > 5 years).
I'm honestly not sure why exactly
C#
was chosen for most of the games, but it's probably because it's relatively good to embed, is relatively strong-typed, while being somewhat performant (compared to something like python or other scripting languages).
