- hsivonen 12y agoI hope fundamental pieces of GNU/Linux system can start migrating to Rust without the FSF objecting to rutsc using LLVM.
- rhelmer 12y agoI wonder if there'd be less friction to porting a BSD - FreeBSD already uses clang to build the kernel+userland, for instance.
- pmoriarty 12y agoI'd rather see it ported to Scheme.
- easytiger 12y agoAnd then see it fall into disrepair and disuse because it becomes unmaintainable. LISP is 50 years old. If it was going to become useful for high performance software in large scale distributed teams of development, it would have happened already.
- qu1j0t3 12y agoWow, what an extraordinarily ignorant and obtuse remark. Way to go HN!
- easytiger 12y agoPlease kindly explain where it falls down specifically. Very happy to be wrong should I be missing sometihng.
- tarpherder 12y agoNo no, you are mistaken. His reply is a special one. See, it not only refers to your reply, but it refers to itself as well! It's amazingly efficient, no need to respond to it any further!
