Or, stop using C++

- fsloth 11y agoThat is like saying that because pigs fart we should abstain from bacon. Would make sense, but not feasible.
- chris_wot 11y agoYeah, I'll just go convert the LibreOffice codebase to Go right away.
- sgift 11y agoFinished already? I have a JVM that waits to be converted, so I can be sure that no C++ pollutes my Java code. Kidding aside, I'm still curious if Rust/Go (or whatever) will be serious contenders to develop current c++ codebases further, e.g. the old code stays c++ but new code will be written in something else.
- smitherfield 11y agoRust is probably more appropriate for that, since (like C++) it uses system APIs directly instead of importing a runtime.
- chris_wot 11y agoIf you have the man power to do it, then please feel free. But on an active project, the advise to just not use C++ is not really ever something that can be practically achieved.
- ultramancool 11y agoI sure will, just as soon as there's full Qt bindings for Rust.
