<@brson> i just rejected a rust-dev post from somebody complaining about the performance of the rust game
<@acrichto> brson: haha
<@acrichto> at some point those posts will start to decline
<@acrichto> hopefully...
<cmr> ... maybe
<cmr> the game does perform pretty poorly
<cmr> it'd clearly be better if it were written in rust
<@brson> what can we do to sabbotage this game?
<@brson> make it go away
* cmr plays it
<@acrichto> brson: I think a more reasonable course of action would be to rename the languge
<@brson> lol
<jack> brson: it's free to play so i assume it will die eventually.
<cmr> jack: no it's not
<jack> cmr: hmm. is there another game like that that is free to play that i am confusing it with?
<jack> I should go onto the steam forums and start asking borrow checker questions.
<cmr> !!
<cmr> that is the best path forward.
<cmr> jack: dunno
<cmr> I don't know of anything else called rust
<jack> cmr: i think i was thinking of path of exile
<@tjc> pay off the game makers to rename their game to something else :-)
<@tjc> such as "Go"
<kimundi> "Rust and Go"
<kimundi> ... that sounded funner in my head
<cmr> "Go and Rust" is more assertive :p
<jack> maybe we can get these confused people to pay us $20 a pop for our language.
<@tjc> heh
<@tjc> who says you can't make money selling a compiler? You can, as long as you convince people it's a video game.
<cmr> QOTW right there
<@tjc> "It's a text-based adventure where you fight a monster called the Borrow Checker by typing cryptic symbols like ~ and @"
<jack> Isn't it one? It's kind of like a text adventure where you have to discover memory safety in your dumb, broken program.
<@tjc> exactly
<eddyb> cmr: someone nominated something else in #rust, yesterday or so
<cmr> eddyb: I got it
<jack> You have been eaten by a dynamically sized type.
<cmr> "eddyb> who needs pure functional when you have pure cool?"
<@tjc> jack++
<@tjc> also, no refunds if you see the words "Internal compiler error", it just means the monsters won
<jack> PLACATE BORROWCK
<jack> You have found an internal compiler error. YOU WIN!
<@tjc> heh
<@tjc> this could be a good way to outsource fuzz testing without having to rewrite the fuzzer ;-)
<jack> The cave is dark an damp. The cackles of deranged programming language designers echo off every surface. There is a sigil on the floor.
<larsberg> "You are in a nondescript text file of nondescript size. Pointers are named north, south, and west. Oh, and there's a Borrowck over there in the corner."
<jack> Written in blood on the far wall you see 'r-'.
<larsberg> acrichto: moving the toolchain to android-18 sadly did not change anything
<larsberg> also, still getting "warning: RUST_LOG set, but no crate map found." at startup
<larsberg> which leads me to think it's not working
<larsberg> maybe a grue ate it?
<eddyb> cmr: heh. I wasn't sure it was me, I didn't remember who said and what was said :P
<eddyb> larsberg: s/grue/internal symbol stripper
* jack MOVE NORTH
<jack> error: Use of already moved value, north.
<larsberg> lol
<jack> GO NORTH
<jack> error: Go is not a systems programming language.
<eddyb> haha, I was going to make a war in the north reference, but this is much better
<jack> WALK NORTH
<jack> error: The tree is infinite. You starve. YOU LOSE.
