FreeBASIC 'destroys' Rust

[chikega]

Tomasz, the very talented programmer that hosts "Tsoding Daily" on YouTube appeared to be very impressed with how fast FreeBASIC compiles. So he did a quick test against Rust. And after running a few tests at the 49:00 mark, he stated "It just compiles fast .. It just compiles fast. I'm sorry Rust fans. You just got destroyed by FreeBASIC that hosts binaries on SourceForge." LOL. He was never able to get PureBasic to work on Linux in the first portion of his stream.

The rust compiler is known for being slow. The compiler checks a lot of stuff trying to prevent you from writing code with bugs. The rust website is a bit deceptive here by writing "Rust is blazingly fast and memory-efficient..."

I am more impressed by this guy, unfamiliar with basic, writing a freebasic program using the raylib library in one hour.

You can skip the first half hour of the recording, unless you want to to enjoy some typical linux use frustrations

I watched this video yesterday, and I was also impressed with this guy. I will be watching more of his content.

I started to watch it but I couldn't stand his constant foul language

[Lost Zergling]

Selected passages:
"It's like Pascal but less 'noisy', .. Yeah. Less noisy, less noisy...awesome".

Seriously? The first 30 Min he did not managed to understand, that he tried to run a 32bit app on 64Bit? Even when somebody gave him the hint in chat?

Tough I loved his rust comment...

well ..what i don't like about this guy is his
rumbling...and his use of ..strange to me linux terminal in combo with VS code or Vim
ahhh linuxero issuses

"It's like Pascal but less 'noisy', .. Yeah. Less noisy, less noisy...awesome".

I'd describe it more as "Like pascal, but less joyless."

Just speaking for myself I reckon FB has a lot of the free-wheeling gonzo fun of coding in one of the early BASIC dialects combined with the rigour and discipline of C. It's just a nice language.

[marcov]

Apropos Pascal, it would have nice if he benchmarked compile speed against Delphi

[aurelVZAB]

WOW
i saw few videos of this guy then i try to investigate ..he made 520 youtube videos about programming
THEN .he made few programming languages ...
hmm seems that is talented ...very good

What's wrong with sourceforge. Why does he think it's weird to put binary files on sourceforge?

fb is on github with no releases and with binaries at sf... this is it !

SourceForge has a terrible track record and lost the trust of developers long ago. Besides, it was superceded by git and all its front-ends (GitHub, GitLab, et al), so nowadays almost nobody uses it to host code; even less binaries. The FreeBasic project was started ca 2004 so it has accrued lots of 'legacy' baggage, one of which is the use of SourceForge to host binaries.
