No one in the C++ community is like, great, in order to keep shit working we’ve got to honor this ABI where we can’t do SSO. No one in the Haskell community is like great: linked lists as the fundamental data type is just awesome on modern x86. The people in the Python community are like great: we just broke everything and took a decade doing it, because we were emphatically wrong about ASCII being a given. The people in the Rust community say nothing like this: Rust isn’t wrong: you’re wrong. Which is going to get progressively weirder as we move back to ASICS more weird than GPUs. I’m enheartened to hear that someone (e.g. you parent) has some grasp on reality on this, but I’ve been in this game long enough to see a decade of progress dunked over CORBA and XML, which had nothing like the mindshare or organic buy-in this Rust stuff does. This is true fanaticism, and I don’t know about you, but I’m going to miss being retired for it’s consequences for the least fun decade of a career that included Visual Basic.
