I love the Fediverse and Lemmy. But technically, it still lags behind the big platforms in some areas. And there are many things where I believe the Fediverse will eventually be significantly better than centralized platforms, but which are still underdeveloped. Unfortunately, I can’t program myself, or at least not very well. So I’m wondering how I can best support development financially.

    Your assertion that “many people are loathe to learn Rust” (with the obvious implication that it’s unworthy of attention) or that it is an “incomplete” or “extremely niche” language, are unsubstantiated and insulting assertions themselves.

      I never said it was unworthy, just that for whatever reason, people are not doing it. And… it is incomplete? And perhaps “extremely” niche is the wrong phrase but definitely “common” is something that it is not.

      Again, I have not asked you to take my word for it: compare the feature sets yourself to see the empircal evidence with your own eyes.

        people are not doing it

        Ah, yes of course. The community of Rust programmers is full of imaginary beings, holograms and simulations.

        it is incomplete

        Care to specify what is missing?
