As a long time C/C++ developer, I think it has a lot of really great ideas. The one thing preventing me from using it a lot more is that there is no stable ABI that would allow to use shared libraries in Rust - everything is statically linked, and if I use the same crates in a number of programs, the same code exists in each of these programs. That is not really a good thing whne you try to develop for a system with very limited space and where program load times make a difference, such as for certain embedded platforms.

But honestly, Rust support in the Linux kernel? Java never got that far, nor any other language (apart from C, obviously).

To be honest, wireless support in Windows has been shite, too. Terrible, unusable junk. Difference is that Linux has improved 🙃

STOP DOING C++

• Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
• “Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

If you’re already working 40 hours a week, focusing on stuff out of hours is going to be hard. I know this all too well!

I was thinking more along the lines of ‘nightshift’. 😀

There are a lot of jobs that require out of hours support, specifically those that aren’t tied to business hours. In tech at least, many of the sites and services you use are built off the backs of software engineers that are paged at 5am because latency is a little higher than normal.

There is a very easy solution to this dilemma: pay someone to stand ready at off-hours.

They are still using Reddit, so one has to wonder if they have not abandoned sanity and intellect a long time ago.

It is incredible to me how some people think they make themselves look smart by wearing their willful ignorance like a crown.

Good idea, giving Microsoft control over every single open source project. I mean, what could go wrong, right?
