I haven't seen this. At most, I've seen the push for rewriting important libraries where security is a core issue in Rust. I don't blame them. I'm tired of C/C++ being used everywhere because of performance, leading to the current-day situation of so much fundamentally unsafe code running the world.
- CJefferson 7y agoI'm involved in a couple of github projects where we have had drive-by "hey, rewrite your project in Rust" PRs. Obviously not official or anything, but never seen anything like that for any other language.
- mrec 7y agoOh, back when Java first came out, Sun themselves were pushing this ("Rewrite it in Java!") line in spades. The hype train was unbelievable back then.
- runevault 7y agoI feel like those are actually trolls. I don't remember the last time I saw someone serious about rust doing those types of silly stunts.
- ncmncm 7y agoThere is no such language as C/C++. You and I are tired of C being used where using a more powerful, safer language would also be faster. Rust could be that language, but C++ is another, and much more likely to still be known in ten years.
- Brave-Steak 7y ago/ = or As in C or C++. I didn't mean it as its own language. And C++ has plenty of issues where I'd consider it equally unsafe. Unless you're a god tier programmer, and even then, it's impossible to write safe code without insane amounts of effort that can't be expected in most projects.
