On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift).

On the other hand, when weighing one’s feelings against the common good, I guess it’s not really a contest. Plus I suspect a lot of my annoyance with languages like rust stems from not being as familiar with the paradigm. What do you all think?

You are correct. I hope nobody thought I am against voting. Everyone needs to vote.

Mostly just saying it outload, I know I fall into the trap myself and just need reminding "perfect is the enemy of good" sometimes.
