You say it's easier in Rust, but you still have a complete C++ implementation and not a Rust one. :)

- deepsun 2y agoLinus said he wouldn't start Linux if Unix was ready at that time.

- deepsun 2y agoDon't know why so many downvotes, probably because I confused Unix with "GNU kernel". Here's the source (Jan 29, 1992): If the GNU kernel had been ready last spring, I'd not have bothered to even start my project: the fact is that it wasn't and still isn't. Linux wins heavily on points of being available now. https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.minix/c/wlhw16QWltI/m/P8isWhZ8PJ8J https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.minix/c/wlhw16QWltI/m/P8...
- sneilan1 2y agoIt took me about a year to build all of this stuff in C++. So I imagine since I've had to learn rust, it will probably take me the same amount of time if I can save time with dependencies.
- fooker 2y agoIn my experience, once you know the problem really well, yes you're right. If you are building a complex prototype from scratch, you'll usually spend more time fighting the Rust compiler than trying out alternate design decisions.
- sneilan1 2y agoI do know the problem domain well. My second iteration in rust already almost has an order book implemented. Writing code in rust however is very fun! (At least so far lol)
- bb88 2y agoBetter than C++? Have you experienced any problems in Rust that C++ instantly solved? Not because I'm pro/anti rust/C++ here, just curious.
- fooker 2y agoWriting Rust is fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun. Great when that's what you set out to do (rewrite it in Rust^TM) can get annoying otherwise (solving/researching a problem).
