When we go a full year without a lpe in the linux kernel I'll start considering it...
- NekkoDroid 4mo agoHow many of the LPE would rust even fix? They mostly seem logical errors and not memory or threading related race conditions to me.
- galangalalgol 4mo agoThis year, none of them. Historically most or all. So that is another caveat. If all future lpe are logic errors I'd start reconsidering the value proposition. I do actually like writing rust though. I don't feel like it slows me down. I also love the simplicity of c vim and gdb, though my first exposure was lattice on the amiga 1000. I wonder if strict typing makes it take fewer tokens to find bugs?
- absintini 4mo agoI mean we’re almost there with Mythos/Fable so there ya go. In two years bye bye rust.
- galangalalgol 4mo agoDid you create this account just to lament rust hype? I mean, it is excessive. But I also don't think it is manufactured. We are more like some mostly benign evangelical denomination trying to get everyone to see the joys of Ferris.
- absintini 4mo agoHonestly, if the language actually looked nicer, great. But I mean the source code looks like a steaming pile of crate-includes. We can do better, seriously.
- galangalalgol 4mo agoYou have touched on my biggest complaint, the supply chain depth. It has definite advantages, but a signed and vetted set of crates is sorely needed. I could always just write everything my self like I would in c, but the crates are right there...
