I wouldn't know, I hardly ever see such posts about other languages. Weird, isn't it, that only rust gets that treatment?

- ben-schaaf 5y agoAs of writing this the font page has the following: * Slacktyping: I'm typing when you're typing (2018) * The world's worst Linux kernel module * Show HN: Go playground powered by WASM that runs in the browser * Elk: A low footprint JavaScript engine for embedded systems
- littlestymaar 5y agoAmusingly enough, the said “Go playground” is actually written in Rust under the hood.
- agent327 5y ago..and none of them mention "written in XXX", do they? They're just interesting projects. The reason for posting is not "...they're in rust", the language is just an implementation detail. We can reasonably assume the Go one is written in Go, but the point here is the playground, not the fact that somebody did something in Go. The slacktyping and kernel module don't mention language at all, they're about some typing... thing and an example of how not to write a kernel module. The javascript one obviously implements javascript, but there's no mention what language it is implemented in. Do you see the difference here? These are all about interesting _projects_, not about some implementation detail, being that it is written in language XXX.

- detaro 5y agoEven just the specific example of Gameboy emulators regularly has examples on the front page, regardless of language. (E.g. in the past year some in c++, going back there's ones in JS/Typescript, ...)
