This is an important point which is often ignored. Rust tooling isn't bad, but compared to C++ and especially C...
- Ygg2 4y agoRust reuses a lot of C tooling (debugger, valgrind, callgrind, etc.). So...?
- woodruffw 4y agoAm I reading you correctly in saying that C and C++'s tooling is good compared to Rust? My experience in both (10+ years for C and C++ at this point, 3+ for Rust) is the exact opposite; I can't remember the last time a C or C++ build system, test framework, documentation engine made me one tenth as happy and satisfied as `cargo` does.
- huggingmouth 4y agoDepends on what you care about in your tooling.
- toyg 4y agoDepends on what you mean by "good". C/C++ tooling is certainly more plentiful, better-supported, and available on more platforms, than Rust at this point. That's somewhat natural, considering how much older the ecosystem is.
