How about using a parser generator ? Yacc, ragel, bison, etc[0] ? Nooooo, we have to use rust, because we are not "2017" if we don't. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_parser_generator...

No, it's tied to systemd. That was one of the big reasons behind systemd adoption in the first place.

To try and give a slightly better answer then others, without complicating too much. My thought it is because they use the default shaders (and/or the artists do glossy too much). That said.. Most, if not all, modern big engines use

I have something against dbus. Bout the protocol and the implementation are very much over-engineered. The protocol at least has an excuse. In the desktop things, that wayland aims to do, dbus is useless. (actually i don't know what it

Not on my computer. Something like a WM will freeze while it waits in queue to read those 0.2kB it needs of the disk (poor software design, if you ask me). But the mouse will freeze when IO buffers get filled. Just writing a huge file to a

I have been playing with making a player to learn a few audio decoding libraries. Using dr_flac, LAME, and nuklear for the gui I made a simple player. It turned out to be extremely efficient (cpu-wise, memory is the next step). Nuklear, the

C is not only better for performance, but also because you simply can not do some things in most other languages. Rust lacks bitfields, for one. But the bigger thing are pointers. AFAIK you can not do type punning in rust, and i don't

I don't know what they use. I do know that you can use the proc events over "connector" to get all the forks and execs. That is how I would do it.
