- dependenttypes 6y agoNo, people tend to be quick to create a new language in addition to lacking imagination and thinking that it is impossible to do in C.
- jdub 6y agoToo quick to create a new language?! Rust was started in 2006 and announced in 2010. Its improvements are based on research done before and after C/C++ existed. If you're the only person smart enough to solve the $64B problem so everyone can start writing safe and backwards compatible code in C/C++, please, go right ahead.
