On the audio it sounded like he went out of his way to deny that Mozilla has any plans to rewrite existing C++.
It may be that Rust is being designed as if that were a goal, but let's not start any rumors here.
- pjscott 15y agoThe stated goal is to use Rust for prototypes of new browser architectures.
- Hemospectrum 15y agoIt would be wise of any developers to give their new language a shakedown on smaller, less important projects before staking their whole business on it. Of course, if it turns out to work amazingly well and they can port all their old code (or interface with it) with relative ease, there's no reason not to jump ship from the hellfires of C++ compilation. They've had major issues with that lately, after all.
