It’s more that you can avoid many mistakes by programming defensively and having good discipline. For example, you can avoid many memory allocation if you follow RAII and use smart pointers.
Null references can be avoided by avoiding using null (and prefer using optional where it makes sense).
There’s no shortage of developers with lots of experience in writing Java backends. People know what to do and what to avoid. The pool of available contributors should be larger.
Backends in Rust is relatively uncommon.
This thread chain started with:
Meh. Java feels like a downgrade.
Sublinks using Java is not about Rust hate. They just thought it was the better choice for them.
Writing backends in Java is super common. Rust for backend is almost unheard of (yet).
Or that other language do you propose?
The good thing about Python is that it’s widely used. Easier to find people who can contribute in Python than Rust, which Lemmy is using.
Downside is that Python isn’t ideal for large scale systems. Other languages like Java is better at protecting the programmer against common pitfalls that come when building larger applications. Python is more ideal for smaller scripts.
DK64 is sometimes accused of killing the collectathon genre. While I’m not sure if the accusations are deserved, DK64 was too ambitious with the amount of collectibles and the size of levels for its own good.
It’s still a great game. I think I prefer DK64 over Tooie overall.
I played both in my childhood, and I don’t think I’ve ever returned to Tooie after I beat it first time. It’s a good game, but doesn’t have that same lasting appeal as the first game.
You touched a bit on the why: the game is too ambitious. The levels are too massive and too intertwined. Smaller isolated levels fit the collectathon format better.
I remember having lots of fun with the multiplayer though, so that’s a bonus.
If you want to continue the collectathon journey you should try out Donkey Kong 64. It’s also a game that falls under its own ambitions, but in different ways. Still a good game, but nothing beats Kazooie.
100 player survival mode could be fun. It worked for Tetris and Mario, and I can imagine something similar would work for Crazy Taxi.
As long they manage to maintain a steady player base and stay away from predatory monetary practices - which probably is just wishful thinking.
Could be like Mario 35, which was pretty fun
It’s about mixed reality after all
Hopefully they won’t come up with some kind of a Rust/CLI, a version of Rust with GC support.
That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account
For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.
Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

And if I happen to click on those videos only to confirm it’s not for me they will be like “omg, he’s crazy about this video! Let’s recommend 10 different variations of this video from now on!”
Sometimes it keeps recommending me the same videos even if have no intention of ever watching them.
Somebody can correct me, but if I remember correctly it’s widely used in countries such as India and Brazil.
If they’re successful they might consider making a Shadow x Shrek game.
I went the political route:
🇷🇺 Putin + 💩 Trump = 👬 Bromance
As you said, the difference is in the ecosystem of libraries. This is where Java has the edge. It has a more mature ecosystem when it comes to web server backends. This includes the number of frameworks, programmers and information sources.
Unless Rust clearly solves common problems people currently have with Java backends, Java will remain the dominant alternative. I believe this is unlikely, because Rust is mainly designed to overcome common memory problems people have with low level C systems without the overhead of garbage collectors.
