- jhgb 5y agoCL is quite unlike Rust, but I've actually found lots of similarities between CL and C++: religiously stressing backwards compatibility and the ability to run very old software, providing the ability to hook and customize as many things as possible while providing default implementations, being unopiniated with regards to programming paradigms...
- pjmlp 5y agoSymbolics and Xerox PARC beg to differ, and their products failed to establish themselves more due to their mismanagement than technical. Rust still needs to grow up quite a bit before it can assert to be (C++)++ specially in anything that involves a GPU.
