  1. No, it is good because it was developed before OOP, Solid, Clean Code and stuff like that...

  2. I am occasionally using AI now, because search engines all become crappier and crappier.

  3. It was only starting to go down since Guido van Rossum left. People now look at you weirdly when you don't use type annotations, Python has switch statements now (only one way to do one thing), etc. etc.

  4. C#? Nah. I'll use assembly and fortran and Ada...

  5. P ain't.

  6. Well safe Rust also guarantees temporal memory safety, you won't free memory twice or use it after you freed it.

  7. What is next? Command Prompt? Calculator? Snipping Tools? File Explorer? Clock? Windows Defender? Store? Task Manager?

  8. I use raylib or sokol. Let's hope they don't go woke and burn their community.

  9. ​ @LedoCool1 Yes and no. Rust has lifetimes, aliasing information, etc. etc., mutable XOR sharable borrowing, C++ has not and cam therefore not verify memory safety. Well you might argue that if you use smart pointers correctly, that it is safe, well then dumb pointers are safe too.

  10. Rust can overwrite memory

  11. Please do not politicise programming languages. And, yes, I believe - all other thins being equal - that Rust can produce more memory safe code, but has downsides as well (many high abstractions) and unsafe Rust is in some ways worse than C. C developers not helping Rust developers is natural.

  12.  @cyberpunkspike  The idea of Rust is to encapsulate small pieces of unsafe code behind safe interfaces involving a lot of type masturbation

  13. leaking memory in rust is a safe function. And yes, you can leak memory even in gc'd languages by adding it to a global collection so it cannot be collected. Also it is correct that memory leaks are not exploitable. Memory safety and memory leaks are not the same thing.

  14. Nah, we have bigger problems...

  15. There is a market for distros which target a smaller audience. There are many distros which are very niche with no goals of mass market appeal.

  16. rewrite in rust meme is real.

  17. I think advertising is good, but user tracking is not.

  18. No, I really am more interested in you.

  19. ​ @LedoCool1 Also, smart ptrs don't solve other problems, like iterator invalidation, or UB since e.g. integer overflow is hands off UB it allowed to be memory unsafe. Also C++ does not prevent other security issues like data races.

  20. Sure it isn't Mothzilla from Futurama?

  21. @turtlefrog369 I never get the people who use things like shared_pointer in C++. Why do you write in C++ if you don't want to worry about memory, just write in D, Swift, Java or C# then.

  22.  @mckendrick7672  While that is true in practice in it not technically true. Ferrocene is working on a specification for Rust and there is also a gcc frontend in development, also there are bootstrap compilers such as mrustc.

  23.  @cyberpunkspike  Servo did not fail, its renderer got incorporated into Firefox proper. Also the separate servo engine got taken by the Linux Foundation and can be used by unusable niche browsers to render web content.

  24. I use Lite XL, btw.

  25.  @iiisaac1312  What is TDS? Tornado debris signature?

  26.  @tiffles3890  People trolling me with stupid avbbreviations and acronyns that I have to guess wrong or look up... TIL? Today I learned?

  27. Black racism was white people discriminatibg against black people. Anti-white racism is white people discriminating against white people...

  28.  @sysbofh  yes it does. I can make a distro NOT for French people. A smaller audience can be achieved by excluding people or by being about something few people care about.

  29. Elementary does not forbid people from using it. It is a DEI distro for DEI people. If a non DEI person is using it, how will they stop that from happening? Right! They can't won't and don't.
