  • This. I still write plenty of bash scripts, but I’ve noticed that except for really simple cases, I very quickly reach a point where I would have been better off using Python instead. And when I start with a Python scripts I often end up redoing it in Rust for a variety of reasons. It’s just easy to underestimate how serious a programming project is. At least I’ve never started something in bash that I needed to migrate to Rust.

    (I think a lot of people would see Go as the next logical step from Python, but I personally find some things about Go really irritating.)











  • In fact, you’ll recall that a world war was triggered because a country wanted to exterminate a specific ethnic / religious group not only within their borders but also in their neighbors’ country.

    WWII was triggered by Nazi Germany’s attempt to take over the world. Ending the Holocaust was just a fortunate side-effect of beating back the Germans and removing the Nazis from power. Nobody in power have a shit about Jews until people started seeing images from the death camps after they were liberated.
