I can't speak for how C#; but in C++'s case, the issue is that there's a lot of programmers who don't keep up with the language that they're using. As a result, you get a few people pushing the language ahead, who

Cool! I usually have to share window-by-window, this may come in handy.

They would already just put “best by” on the product, so it’s not making things any worse that I can see.

This is super cool. So, wait, does this mean that gaming is better on Linux, on a Mac?

Things should not panic a lot, and when I’m going over someone else’s Rust code I will discourage them to use panic at all if it’s socially appropriate. Inasmuch as I am aware, the correct usage of panic is “there is no way to recover from

The big difference (inasmuch as I am aware) is in source compatibility in practice. If I use a header file, as any pre-C++-20 library will (have the major compilers implemented modules yet ?), I am SOL. I am specifying a text-import of tha

I’ll try to keep this comment shorter. :) The thing about Rust abstractions is that they’re a lot more useful and forgiving than C++. Eg: In Rust, I cannot accidentally use an option incorrectly and have the program compile. When it fails t

Rust is nowhere near C++’s complexity. And most of C++’s language complexity doesn’t come from “large scale industry deployment”, it comes from implementing a feature in a half-assed way, then updating it, but then the old feature needs to

Maybe, but it’s kind of half-assed to just figure out a solution that only works for stdx and then leave every other library out to hang. Supporting tools like cargo audit would be a better choice for the entire ecosystem, not just th

No. This is lazy, and ignores how Rust is unique. What would be better is to have a set of standard traits that libraries can implement to provide a service. Effectively, create a standard and let other people build things that adhere to th

“ The marshalling cost for JSON is negligible” I’ve worked with profiling code where the marshaling cost for JSON was the biggest cost. Namely it involved a heap allocation and copying a ton more data than was actually needed, and I ended u

Apple does not provide eye tracking data. In fact, you can’t even register triggers for eye position information, you have to set a HoverEffectComponent for the OS to highlight them for you. Video passthrough also isn’t available except to

Thanks! Not a Go programmer, so I saw the parentheses after the cloaure def and assume it translated to “execute this on a goroutine in the background immediately”

Isn’t what the article suggests (with defer and then WriteString) technically a race condition? Is there no way that the closer can get called before WriteString executes?

This is such an absurd attitude to have, on a site for startup news, no less. Having a frequent, iterative release cycle has a number of benefits: - Everyone in the ecosystem knows the rough cadence of when releases will occur - The people

They are claiming that because code in ‘unsafe’ blocks in Rust can have undefined behavior, that the language is no safer than C. This does not settle the debate because unsafe is rarely needed for a typical Rust program. In addition, the p
