I have a piece of Rust software that has not gone down in its entire lifetime.
- onionisafruit 4y agoMe too. It’s a hello world web service I wrote while reading a tutorial after work this afternoon.
- mradek 4y agoThanks for the laugh I needed that
- polio 4y agoBy definition, no software goes down until its lifetime ends.
- jonahrd 4y agoI would say the lifetime of a piece of software is different from the lifetime of the process running it.
- EdwardDiego 4y agoGood for you! Now, if your Rust code was a distributed system that handles spiky loads from ~330m users, and processes petabytes of data, then I'd consider your comparison relevant to Twitter. But I'm going to assume it's not relevant. P.S., I've written Java services that never went down, because they had a well defined domain and all potential errors were handled. But, I'm not about to compare that to all of frigging Twitter.
- dcow 4y agoI wasn’t attempting to compare anything to Twitter…
