Well, for a start, that blog post was written one year before Rust 1.0 was released.
- cyber_kinetist 4y agoA counterpoint: Vala hasn't done a 1.0 release yet. But still, back at that time (2014) there was far less research done on how Rust library authors can ergonomic bind to C/C++ libraries that have their own object system. Nowadays people have figured out some techniques and we can actually use GTK and Qt from Rust, albeit in an awkward manner (lots and lots of macros).
- agumonkey 4y agoIt seems the benefits of vala were so large that not having a proper version one was not a problem.
- bonzini 4y agoVala had made up its mind for many years on what it looks like and feels like. Older Rust version had green threads and IIRC even a garbage collector, it was absolutely not the same language as Rust 1.0.
- Klonoar 4y agoHa! You're totally right. I read this on mobile and I don't think the title had (2014) in it when I did, completely overlooked it.
