People using C will not change to your language-du-jour, please stop.
- epistasis 3y agoYou seem to be replying to the wrong comment, I am not suggesting that people switch away from C.
- adwn 3y ago> People using C will not change to your language-du-jour, please stop. Two years ago, your argument would have implied that Rust would never be allowed into the Linux kernel, and yet here we are.
- netule 3y agoI wonder if Linus it taking the time to teach himself Rust.
- coliveira 3y agoThere are all kinds of weird stuff in the kernel, many of them will just die.
- mikebenfield 3y agoWhat other programming languages are used in Linux kernel code?
- BearOso 3y agoRust in the kernel is a whole different beast than what most people think--no standard library, no cargo or external crates, some memory safety features removed. It's kind of just an alternative syntax.
- pjmlp 3y agoThey better improve their error free coding skills when liability laws come for them.
- jacquesm 3y agoThis I can't wait for but the bigger problem will be that the rest of the development process is at least as broken as the languages are.
- JohnFen 3y agoAlmost every dev I know who uses C (including myself) also uses other languages. Nobody should only have one tool in their toolbox.
