WebAssembly is not without tradeoffs either. I'm not an expert, but it's often heavier due to bundling the native language's stdlib; it's annoying to interop with the browser environment because that's still JavaScr

Good point. When I'm going back and forth writing code and checking its assembly, I also reason about the compiler almost like an intelligent being: "oh, it doesn't see this condition, so if I help it a little bit, then... Ah

To be fair this is a problem of the Rust web ecosystem. Include a few de-facto standard Rust web crates and you're up to 200 transitive dependencies

I see, thanks for explaining

In what way are these "X11 apps"? Aren't those just "GUI apps that support X11"? Which is not a particularly special trait, because it applies to every Linux compatible Desktop app?

As per Rust reference, even a capture-less closure is a closure and distinct from an anonymous functions. Also, your arguments only partly apply in Rust. Rust doesn't heap-allocate closures. And you also often don't have to deal w

Other comments are saying non-capturing closures are not closures. If we want to have this pedantic argument of definitions: proto_lambda is actually right, with Rust's definition of closures. According to the Rust reference: > Clos

In my experience, the patterns Rust makes explicit are usually worth reconsidering and replacing. Further, it makes other common patterns more compact than in other languages: e.g. `std::fs::read()` vs the abomination with ByteInputStream a

Which has been done, and I'm really sad how that effort has been overshadowed hard by GCCRS, when the latter is much more niche in its use case

by kangalioo 4y ago
The point of GCCRS over rustc_codegen_gcc is to make Rust easier integrateable into other projects and build systems. If you use Cargo anyways, you're much better off using rustc_codegen_gcc

by kangalioo 4y ago
I've wondered about this for ages and now know: the people who work on GCCRS wouldn't work on rustc_codegen_gcc for one reason or another (familiarity, culture, personal ideals...?). So GCCRS is not "eating away" at avai
