Joke's on him, many Rust people are current or former C++ people.
- RicardoLuis0 4mo agojust because someone writes or wrote C++ doesn't make them a "C++ person", and "C++ people" are very much against rust
- ahartmetz 4mo agoOnly true Scots... err C++ people are against Rust, I see :>
- RicardoLuis0 4mo agomore that, most C++ developers aren't "C++ people", the ones that are are a very vocal, but very small minority, though they're disruptive enough that some projects (re: the aforementioned linux kernel) elect to abandon C++ entirely just to avoid them
- spopejoy 4mo ago> Switching to a more modern topic, the introduction of the Rust language into Linux, Torvalds is disappointed that its adoption isn't going faster. "I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust." https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-talks-ai-rust-adoption-and-why-the-linux-kernel-is-the-only-thing-that-matters/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-talks-ai-rust-a...
