No, languages like Go and Rust have supported cross-compilation out-of-the-box since before Zig existed.

Text has inherent structure that GUIs don't. The ceiling for GUIs is higher (thanks to standards and supporting frameworks), but the floor for TUIs is higher.

What you say is true, but TUIs are not strictly worse than GUIs at accessibility. The fact that text is inherently more legible than graphics means that, for example, blind players can play console-based roguelikes (and do: https:/&

No, the people making TUIs in Rust are making TUIs because they love TUIs, and because Ratatui is pretty delightful. The state of GUI frameworks in Rust is irrelevant for this purpose, because even if there existed your ideal of Qt in Rust

Let's start simple and say that the average person isn't bisexual, so we need to exclude half of people from the get-go. But maybe you're taking that as a given. So then we also need to consider that less than half the popula

Amusingly, given the other thread in here with people sniping each other over the metric system, I'm obliged to point out that kg, not g, is the fundamental unit of mass in SI, because even metric can't get away without some silli

Despite "fearless concurrency", Rust has been careful to never claim to prevent deadlocks/race conditions in general, in either async code or non-async code. It's certainly easier to get deadlocks in async Rust than in n

Same. Colored functions are just effect systems, which are extremely useful. Javascript's async as of ten years ago just happened to be an especially annoying implementation of a specific effect.

Your assertion is that it was "rushed". And yet here we are today, talking about how much we wish were implemented. That's not rushed--that's the polar opposite of rushed. Almost nothing about what we currently have on s

It feels to me like there's plenty of design space to explore. Sure, it's possible to view "selection" as a basic building block, but even that is insufficiently precise IMO. There's a reason that Javascript provide

Surely not every use of `select!` needs this ability. If you can design a more restrictive interface that makes correctness easier to determine, then you should use that interface where you can, and reserve `select!` for only those cases wh

Rust is absolutely built for concurrency, even moreso than for memory safety--it just so happens that memory safety is a prerequisite for thread safety. You're going to have a hard time finding any other industrial-strength language th

Async Rust is as complex as it needs to be given its constraints. But I wholeheartedly agree with you that people need to treat threads (especially scoped ones) as the default concurrency primitive. My intuition is that experience with othe

There's a lot of improvements I could think of for async Rust, but there's basically nothing I would change about the fundamentals that underlie it (other than some tweaks to Pin, maybe, and I could quibble over some syntax). Ther
