The title of the article is - "Under The Hood Of Mozilla's New Multi-Core Browser And The Open Source Language That Powers It". The article doesnt live upto that title since it contains no code and no technical commentary.
- w0utert 13y agoAgreed, the whole article can be summarized as 'Mozilla is working on a new browser engine made for multi-core systems, in a new language they are developing called 'Rust' which is made for speed and safety'. Not much more to learn from it.
- wtracy 13y agoIt has some interesting details on how Mozilla manages the Rust community. The title is completely misleading, though.
- bjz_ 13y agoThe article was rather meandering in its focus, but other programming language projects can certainly learn a great deal from Rust in respect to community management and marketing. Mozilla is not just building a language, it is growing a community. It doesn't matter how well designed your language is – if it doesn't have a strong community or people have no idea it exists, then it will inevitably die and be forgotten.
- Lerc 13y agoJolly good, I read the first paragraph and thought "Is this piece just fluff?" [Check comments, yep]. Time saved.
