Go watch early footage of that infowars nutball when he was an opening act for stand-up comics like Doug Stanhope[0] for the lols . It's unbelievable that droves of people are actually embracing what he spouts/peddles. Idiocracy

That makes me wonder how much sys-wide kernel<->userspace and/or glibc copying performance is sitting on the table there, to be potentially reclaimed with an optimized build and/or vulnerability mitigations disabled?

ECS can be implemented in any language, it's orthogonal to my comment re: why Rust for gamedev? ECS is such an obvious concept, it's akin to file descriptors and PIDs on *NIX; an indirection table for handles, :slowclap:. There&

I'm curious why there's so much interest in using Rust for gamedev. It strikes me as the polar opposite of a minimal-friction maximum-iteration-velocity you'd want for something creative like video games. Is it just a produ

You're right, I was sloppy in typing x32 for i386 (as you mentioned, nobody actually uses that).

Apologies, my experience is SysV-centric for amd64, as described here[0] under the Parameter Passing section, which is a clustrfuck compared to the simplicity of the 386 SysV ABI as described here[1]: > Argument words are pushed onto

C is generally first compiled into assembly anyways. When you program in assembly you're basically just doing the job of the compiler, and can call all the same library functions C code can. You just have to follow the calling convent
