I’m aware of pcwalton’s involvement in Rust. So it wasn’t accidental in any way. It was however slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I probably could have used a /s to indicate it wasn’t an attempt to score ‘I’m smart points’. I was also very aware that, despite anything else, they were almost certain to be aware of which came first. I may take serious issue with pcwalton’s assessment of the performance characteristics of OS threads vs other concurrency implementations, but fun HN arguments aside; I have never seen or heard of any lack of acknowledgement of preceding language/implementation work leading to Rust’s development. So I certainly wasnt attempting to imply any stealing or denial of credit/attribution.
