Rewrite it in rust. Now get a lifetime of problems
Is this just humor or there's a reason why people dislike rust? I'm curious.
i think it's just humour, i assume it's referring to rust's lifetimes which is a feature (mostly) unique to rust
There are many who are pushing rust as a religion tan that turns people off.
One thing I always liked about the various flavors of BASIC was that nobody ever pushed that shit as a religion.
Ah, I see lol. Thanks.
Half joking. Lifetimes can be hard but once you understand the concept it's quite easy.
The second joke is about you never learn Rust. You're always on the learning rollercoaster. Always one step away but each time it makes you rethink the whole language.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a rust main. But does issues does exist
Both. The people who promote Rust can be very annoying. They trumpet Rust's memory safety while turning a blind eye to any problems with the language, let alone the effort required to rewrite a large system and all the bugs such a rewrite will introduce.
Lifetime issues? Just
clone()all your problems away. Everything isClonableif you try hard enough. Who needs performance anyway?just started out rust and made a massive thing with sqlx only to find out the latest versions don't have mssql support anymore and the last version that did doesn't support decoding DateTime<Utc> 😭😭😭
had to rewrite the whole thing again with Tiberius, painful yet educational
Sadly sqlx seems to have gone semi-proprietary with their MSQL driver. Personally never understood the appeal of mssql when there's Postgres and SQLite, but hey, it does work.
I've started using welds as my new ORM of choice as SeaORM and Diesel is just not a friendly experience, and supports Mssql OOB. So it's nice there's still options for it.
@bappity @RustyNova I was stuck on the same thing, there's no way to make it compatible? How do you handle dates?
No idea for Tiberius, but for SQLite I'm stuck with converting to timestamp and back. Ugly but works
P.S. add a getter to your data struct and you can be "seamless"
I switched to using tiberius
bit different but not too hard don't have my code on hand atm but this is how I started with it
let mut config = Config::new(); config.host("your_server_name"); config.database("your_database_name"); config.authentication(tiberius::AuthMethod::sql_server("your_username", "your_password")); config.trust_cert(); let tcp = TcpStream::connect(config.get_addr()).await?; tcp.set_nodelay(true)?; let mut client = Client::connect(config, tcp.compat_write()).await?;then I did something along the lines of
fn main() { let stream = client.query(&query, &[]).await?; let rows = stream.into_first_result().await?; let db_data: Vec<MyObject> = rows.into_iter().map(mapping_function_i_made_for_myobject).collect(); } fn mapping_function_i_made_for_myobject(row: Row) -> MyObject { MyObject { my_date_field: row.get::<NaiveDateTime, _>("my_date_field").map(|dt| Local.from_local_datetime(&dt).unwrap()), } }
And some people get “bored” in life smh
