I agree with the quote but I am not able to reconcile it with the following observations...
1. The Unix philosophy insists on making simple tools which focus on doing just one thing and only one thing. Edit: Come to think of it, simple tools can simplify a complex process if you can compose them into a complex tool to do the job.
2. I think this also runs counter to Apple's understanding of simple too (one button mouse anyone?).
Edit: Also I don't follow why the nuclear industry would be opposed to the app.
Not if you have used any third party libraries. Dependency management is a nightmare in these languages.
This looks like 15 x 10^2 to me. I think all caps hex may be able to avoid such problems.
Only if you believe in him! The "caring" is not unconditional.
I think the root of the problem lies in the fact that God here is an abstract entity with whom the believer communicates but no such abstract entity exists for non-believers (duh!).
May be some form of general artificial intelligence can fulfil this role in the future?
Real people can fulfil this role too but they are probably not abstract enough. edit: And hence not "powerful" enough (to forgive, to protect etc.).
Just spit-balling here. Also not trying to offend anyone here.
Lol! A case of sour grapes?
This is incorrect.
What about people not intimidated by C++ and want to switch to Rust anyway? Why have you discounted them? Do such people exist in your world view? Do you think there might be a good reason for those people to choose Rust?
Does anyone?
