It makes sense if you consider the devices being made now are faster and more complex than ever. Multi core SoCs with different archs and memory protection schemes all sharing a bus. This complexity can be wrangled with device tree and Zeph

There’s a dozen ways to solve this… from arc to ref cell, the language provides all sorts of methods to solve this.

Since the output of nix is typically hashed it seems ripe for rsync based mirroring? Is there something particularly difficult for nixos over a typical arch Linux mirror for example?

Many many firmwares are absolute rubbish fed by solo or duo developer teams, writing crap C or worse C++ using a vendor hal, code gen tools, and a super loop. Good luck picking it back up or having another embedded person sort out the rando

I’d think configuration.nix would be enough?

Only 24 cpu cores? Doesn't that seem skimpy when compared to say, a threadripper or sapphire rapids xeon?

After reading this I'm really quite happy Graydon created Rust, but then conceded the path it has taken. It really is an incredibly language and ecosystem, in large part, because of its performance potential. To be clear, the only real

Packaging for rpm or deb based distributions is a hassle. Arch’s makepkg especially and to some degree nix in comparison are incredibly easy most of the time. I still can never remember all the idiotic debhelper commands and the linter has

If you are going on proprietary tool chains... most of those are moving to llvm which rust is based on. In theory any proprietary toolchain based on llvm could provide rustc given incentives to do so. If you are speaking to missing a rus

Arguably Rust is great for small/single owner companies as well. It saves vast amounts of time in comparison to c/c++

Every C++ dev has their own C++ that is idiomatic. Good luck matching that up with reality.

I loved what gentoo let me do. I spent hours learning it in the early 2000s. These days nix honestly does the best job of making a customizable distribution.

Biking to work was a joy when it didn’t involve risking my life. Murica stuck in the metal clown box on wheel culture is plagued by obesity and heart health problems. Coincidence? Probably not.

My old Mackie 1604vlz didn’t cost nearly that sort of coin. True it wasn’t neve or ua… but it had very quiet and clear pre amps and more than enough channels and routing. For $350 used in the early 2000s.

Maybe! If you hate writing cmake/make/vcpkg/conan bs, and want to be able to git clone and build (almost) any project, without installing anything beyond rust+cargo... rust will be nice to use. If you hate the idea of class h

It’s not that I don’t like the cvt, but if it breaks I may as well buy a new car… my friends outback had its cvt self destruct and yeah, no thanks.

Those memory bugs are costly after all. I think the best part of this presentation is they managed to improve performance while adding memory safety. Two people rebuilding a 90kloc c++ into rust in 6 months is also pretty impressive.

The market can be a lagging indicator in this case it seems.

Subaru was awesome. The cvt, the ridiculous headsets, and thin paint mean this 18 xt forester is sadly my last one I think. The 5 speed outback sport I had before was absolutely a joy to drive.

It was near effortless, using the nix dockerTools. The hard part was packaging up all the horrible C++ dependencies involved. I followed the guide here https://nixos.org/guides/building-and-running-docker-images.... I

I actually used nix in place of dockerfiles to build docker images, as it helped produce a perfectly minimal image for N architectures without much effort.

A big part of that historically was a GUI toolkit might need to build up a whole object model, render model, various container types, event loop, timer queue, networking, IPC, file system abstractions, internationalization and tools to deal
