The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays

[-] [email protected] 72 points 5 months ago

Right? It's in the kernel and everything now. Linus likes it. Linus hates everything. HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING HIM?

[-] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago

Big Rust has gotten to Linus

Did he actually say that he likes it? My impression was that it's not his comfort zone, but he recognizes that for the vast majority of young programmers, C is not their comfort zone. And so, if they don't hop on this Rust train, the Linux kernel is going to look like a COBOL project in a not too distant future. It does not happen very often that a programming language capable of implementing kernels gains wide-spread adoption.

One (1) good programming language is what they paid him XD

I'll never touch Rust.

I hate the syntax and cargo too much for that. If that means that I'll never write mission critical, low level code, so be it.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

What don't you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Well - of course I prefer a centralized package manager like pacman, which I also use for python packages etc., but I mainly dislike the building process of rust, which is usually done with cargo. No libraries, not even a global cache for already compiled dependencies, no distcc. This makes it infinitely slower than most C/C++ projects. Compiling the kernel is literally faster than compiling a "simple" project like spotify_cli (500+ dependencies, depending on configuration).

So it's ass from a user perspective, waiting for stuff to compile (just for it to fail, and start from scratch, as some stuff needs a clean build/src dir), and imo very weird from a dev perspective.

I like Go better

However, C is still king in a lot of ways

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

C is definitely still king, but I wonder if crABI will eventually be able to dethrone it:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111423

If they can define a useful ABI that manages to include lifetimes, that might just be enough of an improvement to get people to switch over from assuming the C ABI everywhere.

Linux is C only, ever read the rant by Linus last century about C++ ? I was there, in usenet

[-] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago

They're about allow bits of rust though

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Have they tried applying a bit of protective oil coating?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Wait, you are telling people had discussion in Usenet? No way!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

it was mostly flame wars, alt.bin.pictures.erotica, warez, discussion about The Simpson, and of course The Oracle, and Kibo.

EDIT for young people, the usenet oracle and kibology

Wat? Don't you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

C is the only language, all the rest are mental disorders (/j 😉)

Edit: maybe rust, but it's on thin ice XD

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

the author of C++ said that C gives you many opportunities to shoot yourself in the leg. You have a much less chance for this to happen with C++, but when it does, you will blow your whole lower body off

Put the gun away and throw that cpp book in the bin, fool. I brought The Linux Kernel Programming Guide, which is in C, and my own socks, which are wool. Now let's gets crackin.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I already use linux. My feet have been getting cold lately. it never occurred to me to get wool socks. Is this how it starts? Are skirts next?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Unless you use goat wool socks. Then you can go for a old school hippie build. Sandals, long hair, tie dye shirt and go from there.

I appreciate the usage of the pi 1 and not one of the newer versions.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Maybe I'm just old but old pi was special

In C++? I'd rather be shot, thanks :P

I'm down for Linux, but not C++ (I'm not into S&M)

Seriously though, anyone knows the source of the pic? I've been wondering for a while.

Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to do the equivalent of x11 application network transparency but with wayland.

Kind of like streaming a desktop with sunshine, but on an app by app basis.

Also we're gonna make a client that work for it on android, windows and in a browser.

Then I'm going to fuck you in the ass
