Which all of above is the reason I like D Lang, as it is ABI compatible with C/C++. So all existing libraries and code written in C can just be used but also have the convenience of modern language design principles. Which unlike the other modern languages like Rust, Go, .Net, etc... it is not corporate owned and controlled. So being completely free and open source like C/C++, D is continuing build on top of what came before, but also bringing in modern languages safety for memory, types, as well as rtti (runtime type introspection), and being multi paradigm allowing procedural, OOP, and functional to all co-exist in the same code.
So that is why I think it is the best choice for my default language of choice.
- steveklabnik 7y agoRust is not corporate controlled nor owned either.
- fortran77 7y agoIt's owned by Firefox and controlled by the Mozilla Foundation! That's why I use C#. It's open.
- steveklabnik 7y agoThis is just plainly not true. Mozilla is one part of Rust's governance, but is nowhere near a controlling stake. We deliberately designed it so that control by a singular organization is impossible.
- fortran77 7y agoFirst you say that it's not "corporate control" then you say that well, ok it is a "part" of it's governance. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
- steveklabnik 7y agoParticipation is not control. Mozilla cannot make decisions about Rust’s future. They can participate in the open process to make those decisions, but we operate on consensus, and they’re a small minority of the stakeholders.
- stompl 7y ago>Mozilla cannot make decisions about Rusts future. Sure they can, just unofficially.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoRust is jesus and the holy spirit. A person who can't see this is an inferior programmer 100%.
- lollllllll 7y agoYou are easily the most retarded retard on this retarded site.
- stompl 7y agoStill shilling Rust after being fucked over by the company who made it?
- steveklabnik 7y agoI’d object to “shilling”, but I still advocate for Rust. Mozilla plays no part in my decision to do so, for better or for worse, for exactly that reason: they’re not in control of it, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.
- stompl 7y agoMozilla is essentially the reason why Rust is where it is today. They also have more _influence_ and stake in Rust than any other business today. They are basically Rust, regardless of what meaningless, easily loopholed paper statements are made. And your "objection" is what's truly irrelevant. You have referred to yourself as an evangelist. You're a shill.
