Wonder what are the examples of 'short programs' where you'd just zip out raw C as a default language, and it would be simpler/faster to implement than in Rust?
- t43562 4y agoThe comparison is really to python rather than C. I C mostly when I'm trying to fix some compilation bug in a library or when I'm trying to call some glibc or other OS level bit of code to achieve something- e.g. on a Raspberry Pico. Using C for anything is just rare for me and C++ and Rust even more so because they don't add anything that I need usually.
