I think the thing that rubs me the wrong way is that Rust was supposed to be "fearless" concurrency. Go doesn't claim that title so I'm not offended when it doesn't live up to it.

I can’t say whether it was rushed out, but it’s clearly not everything it was advertised to be. Early on, the big talking point was that the async implementation was so modular you could swap runtimes like Lego bricks. In reality, that’s nowhere near true. Changing runtimes means changing every I/O dependency (mutexes, networking, fs), because everything is tightly coupled to the runtime. I raised this in a Reddit thread some time ago, and the feedback there reinforced that I'm not the only one with a sour Rust async taste in my mouth. https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1f4z84r/is_it_fair_to...

Interesting, I wonder if I could use this on embedded. I was trying to get Rayon to work on embedded but was getting stack overflows when I tried. Maybe this will do the trick…

> Gleam's community has grown much faster and larger

I hope I’m the anecdotal exception then! I personally watched this exchange happen and left the community within 24 hours. I respect your right to run your community how you’d like, but I unfortunately didn’t experience any “good vibes” from how you handled this situation.

To me a good moderator handles situations without patronization or condescending, is respectful but clear, and doesn’t care how people feel about them.

Keep up the excellent work on Gleam.

I’m most excited about the Rust-ish types in a garbage collected language. Aside from the lack of compiling to static binaries, this fills an empty void for me between Go and Rustz

Not looking for anything. This post was titled “My first experience with the Gleam language”, I also think the language was pretty great but I am sharing my poor first experience with the language and the community. I don’t even fault the guy for not wanting to answer questions, but it was in the #off-topic channel and the response was just abrasive. I hope people use the language, I think it has huge potential and honestly it looks beautiful. I thought sharing ‘my first experience’ was pretty on topic.

Yeah I didn’t give his comment much thought other than the thumbs down, it was the follow up reprimand for even emoting and removing the emote. Just the whole exchange rubbed me the wrong way. Here are the receipts https://imgur.com/a/nsRpFGk

They were asking Rust questions in one of the channels going back and forth and the mod out of the blue told him to stop asking Rust questions because he doesn’t give Rust advice for free. Which I understand, it just came off in a highly abrasive way so I thumbs-downed it.

Gleam seems cool. In the Discord the lead guy bit off someone’s head in chat and I thumbs downed his comment, then he removed my thumbs down and messaged me to say that I was rude. Bit of a turn off tbh…
