Writing an OS in Rust (Second Edition)
- panpanna 7y agoI think these posts will be much more enjoyable in 2020 when we hopefully have a stable compiler. Not a huge fan of switching to nightly to get certain functions. And don't get me started on the cross compile support. While Go ships a single binary that supports many targets, in rust you need to mess with rustup, compile your own libraries and even then it might not work... Can't wait for 2020 to arrive.
- dual_basis 7y agoIs there some guarantee that the features you have mentioned will arrive in 2020, or are you just wishful? I too am waiting for a time when Rust's cross-compile support is as good as Go. That being said, if my application can work with a garbage compiler, is Rust still the right choice?
- panpanna 7y agoI think the features are already accepted, we just need to wait for them to mature and find their way into the stable version.
