In fairness I haven't seen anyone make a serious comment like yours yet in this thread.
- caconym_ 10y ago"in b4 'we should rewrite W in X/Y/Z'" has become the new "we should rewrite W in X/Y/Z".
- kardashian007 10y agoI didnt up/down vote, but rewriting in something like a performant, secure subset of Go/Rust/X and formally-proving correctness to remove many classes of errors would arguably have immense net value greater than the pain and cost of progressive/gradual rewriting migration from C to something with fewer dangerous corners and far less code to accomplish the same system behavior.
- caconym_ 10y agoI don't mean to show support for either the "rewrite everything in X/Y/Z" crowd or the "C is all we need forever" crowd (or their non-straw-man equivalents). I just thought the early state of the comments in this thread was funny, is all.
