That’s a nice list for pirates. And none of it is blocked from here, so thanks I guess

jeez

I learned a bit of rust and I think it’s just about getting used to it. It’s fairly subjective, and people say the same about C++. I also prefer the C syntax because I find it’s simplicity extremely elegant and prefer it to have fewer features. And I like it for it’s consistency, on linux the FHS is based up on C, and it just somewhat feels ugly to break that consistency.

But I also acknowledge the advantages of rust.

I understand, it can take quite some time to compile ;)

Gentoo is awesome! But I hope you update at least your browser more often than that?

Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with coding in rust for people who like it. But I do think it’s quite a bit of useless work that could be spent more wisely on new products instead of rewriting things that we already have

thanks! reading my comment again I feel the need to highlight that I did not try to imply it is not happening, I just let out some frustration about the article not being specific enough for my taste

It is possible, it would bring in quite a few restrictions though. The bigger problem I see is that it wouldn’t be entirely clear as an end user whether a program is memory safe or not. However, this isn’t the case with rust neither. Maybe some kind of certification would help

not a big fan of rust personally. I think it would be much smarter to bring borrow checking to C through annotations. That way we would not have to rewrite the whole world

I would really like to know what EXACTLY they are doing, this is so vaguely written, that I couldn’t even judge whether this exists at all or not
