Why would one pick C or C++ over Rust for this project?

• sim_card_map 7y ago
  Much easier to build, for me at least. I tried installing Rust and building the example, but then it complained about nightly features, and I didn't have time to figure that out. C/C++ are mainstream languages, and building is as simple as g++ test.cpp.

    Using nightly features is as simple as inserting +nightly as the first argument to rustc or cargo (assuming rust was installed with rustup, which is the default way to install it). So in this case, it's just `rustc +nightly green_threads.rs`

  If the point is to explain how green threads work, it is better to use a common language so people can simply try to understand the concept and not try to understand both the concept and the language at the same time.
