Interesting that #rust doesn't appear to have been as amazing as it was made out to be: https://jsoverson.medium.com/was-rust-wo.. It looks like #programming and #refactoring has significant #resistance .
Interesting, it might be possible to *actually* #program a much niceer #rust #grammar that is more #familiar to #cpp https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rus.. I'm still not quite sold on it, but this would go a long way making me more accepting of it.
Looks like it's not quite a good idea to use #rust in absolutely every #scenario https://scribe.rip/using-rust-at-a-start.. It purposely makes #development more #difficult .
Looks like the #ransomexx #malware has now moved to #rust and can #evade anti- #virus #virustotal https://www.darkreading.com/threat-intel.. Mad.
Looking forward to #slower #linux #kernels and #drivers in the #future as the #rust #language becomes more popular: https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/rust-i.. These people seem to #forget that #memory #safety is just *one* type of #kernel #bug . Also bad #logic can be written in *any* #language .
The work by #lupyuen is excellent: https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/de I am so glad I asked him to create a #blog . Not so sure about writing #software in #rust ... But otherwise the work going into this is exceptional.
#google are apparently working on a new #os called #katos which is supposed to be focussed on #security https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-Kat.. Apparently it is built on #rust and a #microkernel . Let's see where it goes. It's not entirely clear to me just yet exactly what they intend to do with this, so it may be dead in the water before it even starts.
Very cool #demonstration from #practicalengineering about #rust and how it can be #prevented https://youtube.com/watch?v=qFXWjv65JWg
Ouch, according to #leaked #reports , the #eiffeltower of #france - a #major #landmark in #europe - is filled with #rust https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/j..
About 10% of #firefox is supposed to be in #rust these days: https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats.. The #browser is surprisingly #diverse in #languages used... Surprised it works at all.
Apparently the #claim that #rust massively #outperforms #go is wildly #inaccurate and based on a #flawed #study https://twitter.com/_rsc/status/14963523.. Interestingly I saw a great case being made for #go as a #lightweight #java #alternative https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=304..

Good luck with that... The Rust #compiler is not even consistent or #stable ...Interesting, #popos may soon switch to using #kde instead of #gnome - perhaps a general switch away from #ubuntu in general: https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments.. The #reddit #comments are pretty funny, claiming it might be called " #kpopos " and instead of getting an #lts #release - it might be a #bts release!
I'm still not #convinced to give up on #cpp in favour of #rust https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/073.. The first thing #rust needs to do is show some #compiler and #language #stability . Secondly, it needs to actually prove its claims! #abstraction does not mean #speed , #safety or #memory #efficiency !
Very cool #snake #implementation written in #rust as an #os https://github.com/trusch/snakeos What should just be 512 bytes seems to balloon up to 212kB though...
