What Rust Means to Me: HONOR!
This is a new installment in my series of writings that I am calling WHAT RUST MEANS TO ME.
As I continue to think about the nature of Rust and what it means to me, the next word I thought of was this: HONOR.
Why do I think that Rust exhibits HONOR?
I think that Rust is HONORABLE because it has INTEGRITY.
Rust strives to be the BEST that it can be.
Being the BEST does not mean being PERFECT, because Rust inhabits a world of limitation.
However I think it also means trying to be BETTER than it is right now, which is something I think that Rust does.
Not only does Rust improve over time, but Rust also forces me to IMPROVE myself.
I hold Rust to a high standard, and the Rust compiler holds ME to a high standard in return.
It does this by being HONEST with me, for if I have written POOR or FLAWED code then the Rust compiler will tell me!
While I do not believe that the Rust compiler is infallible, I do TRUST that it will be FAIR and JUST with my code.
Those are some reasons why I think that Rust shows HONOR.
