got made fun of for being a rust programmer today 😔

tutor overheard me talking abt how cool it is that they finally put better error messages in python3.11 bc they used to be p bad

n he asked me “what??? python has bad error messages? what language language has good error messages?”
i made the mistake of saying “rust does!!!”
n he jus kinda went “ok ok! ok!!! nevermind!”

then i used a filter function in python n he looked at it and said
what the fuck is that
is that a rust thing

i also asked why the fuck math.nan is a float for some reason n he just told me just because it works different in rust its not bad :)

@pastelpunkbandit worse imo is that I've somehow seen people make fun of javascript for NaN != NaN when that's literally just following IEEE754 spec....
