  1.  @tiranito2834  I'm starting to think that all the people not understanding why GC would be bad for spacecrafts just don't understand how GC works.

  2.  @Leonhart_93  No, sarcasm doesn't depend on brevity. But if you seriously meant that, then you have no clue how a lot of things work, and that's just plain sad.

  3.  @Leonhart_93  Are you being sarcastic? I'm assuming you are given the "Pffft", but it's hard to tell, because some people really are that stupid and misinformed.

  4.  @Leonhart_93  If you had any clue how memory worked and how GC's actually manage it, you'd realize that it's a completely ridiculous statement to say that multiple cores or even just processes will prevent stutters from a collection cycle. If you knew how rockets were actually engineered, you'd know how stupid it is to say that rockets don't have limited RAM. With the weight restrictions being down to the gram, they're not going to just slap a 64 gig stick of RAM in there and call it a day.

  5.  @Leonhart_93  I probably don't need to say it again, but you have no clue about the real world.

  6. Thanks for reminding me that I'm old.

  7.  @Heater-v1.0.0  I think you missed the obvious sarcasm in that line of "took over the world", because we all know it did not.

  8. Static analyzers exist for both C and C++, have for decades, and free and open source programs for doing this work exist. Not using one for a critical application is a skill issue, especially since a person in that position knows that it's critical. These programs are far better at finding bugs in your code than Rust's compiler is.

  9. In space you need realtime operations. You can't have that with a GC.

  10. I hope you read this, but it is a skill issue because we've had static analyzers of all varieties for use with C and C++ for decades. Not using one to validate your code if it's going to be in a critical, as in life or death, device, that's a skill issue. Something to consider is that there are millions of fresh graduates out there who have no clue what they're doing and often get tasked with writing code, whether it be on the job training or just as an exercise in testing their skills, and without any critical thinking and proper analysis of what they've written, that code gets used in products that ship. We've known how to write safe and secure code for decades, and yet people still write bad code because they are unskilled. Also, the 70% number you keep quoting was from a non-representative survey and should be ignored as a false data point. And in case you would like to point out that senior devs make mistakes and want to claim that the Rust compiler can somehow do what a more feature-filled decades old static analyzer can do, consider that maybe they shouldn't be called senior devs if they're not going to make use of the free and open source tools to properly check their C code, especially if they're writing code that is being incorporated into a kernel.

  11.  @youtubelisk  Skill issues are mitigated, if not eradicated, with education and practice. Your incorrect definition of the term proves that the issue you're having is IQ, which goes deeper than skill. You can't help it, you were born with that brain.

  12. Government has stack overflow errors, wants people to use language that claims to prevent them. It's certainly ironic.

  13. Capitalism requires competition. Government contracts that are exclusive based on bribing congresscritters is not how competition works. Monopolies are anti-capitalistic and the government is the biggest legal monopoly.

  14.  @AkaiKnight  There's definitely a tone in text, but it is also definitely harder to spot. Italic and bold text certainly help, but sometimes it's obviously false statements that are the easiest to get, especially when they're chained together.

  15.  @donperegrine922  Are you really that dumb that you think they use the same processors that go into our desktop computers? Oh, you are. Maybe you'll learn one of these days how they have to do things for spacecraft because cosmic radiation can literally flip bits causing data corruption at random intervals.

  16. Mildly funny, since as we all know you can't do math on a void pointer.
