Is this the headline feature? That it is written in Rust? Can someone explain why this would be a compelling reason to install this?
- detaro 8y agoIt's a link to the github repo, submitted to a fairly developer-centric website. It's not a reason to install this, it is why readers here might be interested in looking at the source/the project in detail.
- mdekkers 8y agoIt's the title of the submission though, and arguably one of the least interesting aspects of the project. I would be interested in the fact that it claims to be the fastest, and that it runs on the GPU.
- lucideer 8y ago> arguably one of the least interesting aspects of the project. I would be interested in... You're conflating what you are interested in with what other HN readers might be. That it's written in Rust is arguably one of the most interesting aspects of the project for any developer interested in the source code, which is the exact example the comment you're replying to gave. You seem purely interested in it as a user, which is fine, but far from universal.
