Sounds like a huge effort just to get Rust in. I predict huge problems for the Firefox program if they continue this mixing. It's a huge added complexity.

- simias 8y agoI mean developing Rust in the first place is probably a huge added complexity on its own, clearly they're not doing this on a whim. There's also probably a huge upfront cost that's going to pay off as more and more Rust code make it into Firefox.
- kibwen 8y agoIt's hardly any more intrinsic complexity than adding a C library to a C++ project.
- kbd 8y ago> ... just to get Rust in You make it sound like they're just cargo culting a shiny new language when in fact they invented the language in the first place to solve their complexity problems with C++.
