  • wayland.windowManager.sway.config.keybindings = let

              fi

    This is in my Home Manager configuration. I don’t think this is that bad, it’s just kinda messy. If you can’t tell, it’s a script for taking screenshots, embedded in my configuration.





  • (notice: I am not a Rust or C/C++ expert)

    Doing all that is creating a completely separate programming language from C. Rust is that programming language.

    Fix shitty imports

    Rust does that with modules and crates.

    Improve syntax rule

    You mean having consistent/universal style guidelines? Rust pretty much has that with rustfmt.

    Improve memory management

    Safe Rust is memory safe (using things like the borrow checker), and Unsafe Rust is (usually?) separated using the unsafe keyword.

    Although Unsafe Rust seems to be quite a mess, idk haven’t tried it

    Other new misc features

    Rust has macros, iterators, lambdas, etc. C doesn’t have those. C++ probably has those but in a really weird C++ way.
