Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.

I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest

See if you cant agree with something he said

    Here’s a 249-page book “just” about atomics and locks in Rust. Does a book this large about only one aspect of Rust prove that it’s a terrible language? No

    If that book was about a million ways of how to just use atomics in Rust, then yes, that would be potentially bad. But SURPRISE SURPRISE, it’s not. As you can see for yourself.

    Not sure what you were getting at there. Even hard C++ copers don’t attempt to argue against the fact that C++ is huge, and not only that, it’s the biggest language around by an easy margin (this can be roughly and superficially measured by comparing spec sizes).

    It’s not the size, but rather everything on top of it, and contributing to it, from general incoherence to bad design to countless misfeatures, that require non-trivial argumentation.

      Your comment seems to be trying to disagree with me, but I think you wrote almost the same things that I wrote in the comment that you’re replying to:

      • The Rust book is about much more than just what’s in its title (my point being that this also goes for the cited C++ book).
      • C++ is a baroque and sometimes unwieldy language.
