In a similar vein, there's no inherent reason to use a calculator over doing calculations on paper. Ever seen a paper run out of battery?

- wakawaka28 2y agoThe difference between C++ and Rust is more akin to the difference between a standard pencil and a mechanical pencil lol. Also: >In a similar vein, there's no inherent reason to use a calculator over doing calculations on paper. Improved speed and reduced mental overhead are the main reasons people use calculators, not accuracy. This is because you can use any tool such as a calculator (or programming language) incorrectly. I used to hear that the difficulty of relating CPU instructions to lines of C++ was the reason it wasn't suitable for the kernel. Now, all that has gone out the window (as Rust is definitely no simpler than C++), and they're making changes to the Rust language to suit the kernel application (as opposed to using something tried and true). It's a bad idea, but I expect it to be carried out to the point of absurdity.
