What problems does Java JSR 310 have (old Java time yes, but those are known issues)? As far as I have used it, it was damn near perfect.

Not exactly chrono crate (to quote "chrono or equivalent"). More like Java's version of chrono.

If you can convert Cobol to Java, you can convert C++ to a GC language as well. If you are so inclined.

Pretty sure that's a programmer's raison d'être. Not invented here (NIH) syndrom predates Rust.

Still given the option, I would prefer the tool that gets the job done that is safer and reduces error over one that is just sharp edges. For example, TypeScript vs JavaScript.

Iirc it started as simple exercise. It just aimed at high compatibility with original coreutils. Which part of that is stupid? License is chosen because Rust is more static linkage friendly. Which leaves exercise part or high compatibility.

So rewrites in Rust can happen as long as they don't have practical usage? This isn't something that affected Ubuntu. It's something Ubuntu wanted to test in day to day usage.

Yup. Primagen hyping it up gave it a huge push.

I thought we were talking about high performance parsing. Of which buffered reads are one. Other is loading entire document into mutable memory, which also has limitations.

by Ygg2 1y ago
Not if you are doing buffered reads, where you replace slow file access with fast memory access. This buffer is cleared every X bytes processed. Writing to it would be pointless because clears obliterate anything written; or inefficient bec

Binding is one thing, having idiomatic library is another.

by Ygg2 1y ago
You have a read buffer and somewhere where you have to write to. Even if we pretend that the read buffer is not allocating (plausible), you will have to allocate for the write source for the general case (think GiB or TiB of XML or JSON).

That's great. But I need an Aerospike/YAML/JPEGXL/Slint libraries first thing in the morning. Is it in vendor package yet? No? Then Odin vendor package will be a bottleneck for development.

If you indent your pasted stuff by four spaces, HN treats it as code. That might help.
