- doe_eyes 2y agoInertia is doing things because you're used to doing them. This is pragmatism: until the arrival of mainstream Rust-based OSes, there's probably no escaping C/C++.
- xelamonster 2y agoMy point is that the arrival of Rust-based OSes is absolutely in the cards, so while I don't disagree that it would be very difficult to fully escape at the moment that is also actively changing.
