<@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.
