Perhaps we need a Rust-centric POSIX replacement?
Rust is making inroads in the Linux kernel which is good.
On HN I have seen links to many interesting blogs and articles about how painful interfacing Rust with the eccentricities of C / libc can be.
Unless there is a better replacement for POSIX (which as written requires C), then POSIX will remain along with all of its eccentricities.
- pjmlp 4y agoThat is what languages with rich standard libraries allow. In Rust's case maybe what is required is a kind of curated set of modules, a bit like Java EE defined a set of basic functionality (in multiple JSR specifications) that every application server should provide, including Spring based ones.
