The C++ requirement seems to place this dead in the water. In 2024 there is no shortage of better runtimes.

- mgaunard 3y agoWhile I don't know anything about that project, your comment sounds a bit unwarrantingly anti-C++. Most compilers and operating systems are built in C++ nowadays, it's the industry standard for any systems-level programming.
- IshKebab 3y agoYeah but only because Rust (and arguably Zig) didn't exist when those compilers and operating systems were written. C++ is the industry standard for existing software but it would be dubious at best to start a new project in C++. Especially something that has essentially no dependencies like a compiler. GUIs and games, sure.
- mgaunard 3y agoha, you're a Rust zealot; that explains it. Believing that all new software should be written in Rust rather than C++, and that this situation is inevitable anyway, is one of the core tenets of this church.
- IshKebab 3y ago> you're a Rust zealot; that explains it. I bet you were one of those people that dismissed anyone that liked the iPhone as being an Apple fanboy. You know people really like Rust because it's good right? I'm curious what other reason you think people have for promoting it? Even the White House says you should use Rust instead of C++. Are they Rust zealots?
- yazzku 3y agoObviously you shouldn't start any project in any language because you have no idea what you're talking about. Spitting myths and folklore stripped of context is not what engineers do.
- DinaCoder99 3y agoMost compilers are not based on C++. C++ compilers (namely, GCC, LLVM, and Visual Studio) are based in C++. Anyway, no point in cargo culting the use any further.
- mgaunard 3y agoThose are the main compiler frameworks used by all the major platform providers (Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, IBM...) and support dozens of languages...
