Then how do you explain "Rust for Windows"?
812.
by skohan 5y ago
It's unfortunate when marketing speak enters the domain of tools. Imagine if builders had to deal with this: "Hey hank, grab me the Microsoft Screws(tm) for 3/4 inch holes"

It's funny because most people I know have gone exactly the other way. Why use nosy and intrusive Windows when you can run all your games directly in Linux? What value is Windows adding here?

Is typesafe concurrency a value-add in wasm? Isn't web mostly single-threaded?

I like it. For me it makes it dead easy to glance through a file and instantly understand what's the boundary between the view layer and everything else. At the end of the day you're creating HTML, so JSX is like a WYSIWYG from

Is sauron ready for production in your opinion?
817.
by skohan 5y ago
Yeah the build times were a killer for me. I did a small project with rust->wasm in the front-end, and this was a bit painful compared to a standard react workflow. It would be really nice if this could be improved in the future.

As far as the whole WSL topic, I wonder how this is going to play out long-term for MS. I understand why MS' hand was forced to streamline *nix development workflows on Windows in order to retain any relevance in modern software devel

All of these still sound awkward. "Windows Audio Subsystem", or "Audio Subsystem for Windows" both sound better. The fact that it's an audio subsystem is more descriptive than the fact that it's a windows sub

Also it makes it sound like Linux is adopting Windows, not the other way around.

I'm pretty far from this stuff, so I am sure the people studying it know far more than I do. However when I read about dark matter/energy, and quantum physics, it sometimes reminds me of stories of the geocentric model, where the

Well I think it's clear that Apple will keep M1 to themselves. But I would imagine other vendors will come out with Arm offerings to compete. I agree a truly open-source option would be desirable.

What about graviton? Isn't it already competitive with x86 on price/performance?
826.
by skohan 5y ago
Would that really be a competitive option for your use case over something like graviton? It is kind of a wild state of affairs that as good a chip as M1 isn't available as commodity hardware.

It seems like a nice idea, but doesn't cleaning the ocean seem a bit more pressing?

I guess this is one of the benefits of having the language direction owned by a single author - they might feel a bit more empowered to make this kind of principled stance in the face of strong incentives to trade funding for corporate guid

Honestly that's also sort of a sad statement on the current state of affairs as far as corporate consolidation goes these days.

Honestly this is what I was afraid of when Mozilla backed off on Rust support and Amazon and others stepped in to fill the gap. One of the main selling points for me to start learning Rust was the truly open-source pedigree - with Mozilla

I'm not an expert on the go scheduler, but my perception is that it is more of a focused single-purpose component whereas tokio seems like a sprawling swiss-army-knife of a library if you browse the source
833.
by skohan 5y ago
Honestly tokio is so complex, and it serves so many use-cases it's hard for me to believe it could ever be truly optimal for any one use-case.

fwiw Zig is taking its role as a low-level, bare bones "c replacement" as a core design constraint. For instance zig has eschewed from even fairly tame features like operator overloading because they're not considered in lin

It depends who the audience is. If this is about getting mac users interested in open-source, the accessibility of *nix tools on the platform is not a bad inclusion.

by skohan 5y ago
Yeah honestly 99% of what most casual user do on a computer is in the browser, and Linux does that just fine. And it's way less noisy in terms of random notifications, upgrade spam etc. so it is not a bad choice for unsophisticated us

If you went back years ago, you might have missed how good Linux gaming has gotten recently.

Yeah I don't really play multiplayer games so YMMV.

Idk in my experience it was more like the publisher intro video at the beginning of the game. Most games these days use in-engine cutscenes.
