Could you point me at the members of the Rust project doing so? I'd want to have a word with them (I'm a member of t-compiler).

- slopinthebag 2mo agoThey aren't. It's some random rust users vs the leader of the Zig project, leader of the Fil-c project, the head of community at Zig, etc. But they like to pretend there is an equivalence on the Rust side.
- hmry 2mo agoSorry for not being clear, I meant the creators of Fil-C and Zig (since those are the ones mentioned in the article)
- hitekker 2mo agoIIRC, ralfj was insinuating that Java was memory unsafe and arguing about it with experts on HN not too long ago. But I think he was coming off hot from the T-spec debacle so I understand it as him wanting to blow off steam. The most toxic Rust leaders exited from the project a few years back, though some are flaming more freely than ever, e.g., Go barely deserves to exist, “SQlite is a terrible example” etc
- ssokolow 2mo agoI remember seeing a blog post about that years ago and I probably bookmarked it but Firefox doesn't seem to have a way to search bookmarks for "Java" but not "JavaScript" and it appears "memory" wasn't part of the page title. (And it's entirely possible it was back when I ONLY saved a copy of articles of that tier of "I may need this again" via ScrapBook/WebScrapBook, I haven't yet set up the browser/indexer for those and a few quick ripgrep searches aren't turning it up.) I believe it had something to do with the JVM having some flawed semantics which couldn't be fixed without breaking compatibility with existing bytecode.
