The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays
Right? It's in the kernel and everything now. Linus likes it. Linus hates everything. HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING HIM?
Big Rust has gotten to Linus
Not the L man!
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.
What don't you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?
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.
Linux is C only, ever read the rant by Linus last century about C++ ? I was there, in usenet
They're about allow bits of rust though
Have they tried applying a bit of protective oil coating?
Wait, you are telling people had discussion in Usenet? No way!
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
C++? Shoot me
Wat? Don't you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.
C is the only language, all the rest are mental disorders (/j 😉)
Edit: maybe rust, but it's on thin ice XD
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.
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?
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.
Girl, I will wear whatever socks you want, but... pulls out my own gun. We're reading this damn book instead.
I better be getting pegged at the end of the night if she makes me suffer by writing C++.
All Linux enthusiasts are attractive women.
Even if they are men?
Especially if they are men
I appreciate the usage of the pi 1 and not one of the newer versions.
In C++? I'd rather be shot, thanks :P
I'm down for Linux, but not C++ (I'm not into S&M)
Nothing says "I love you" quite like a surprise LFS install.
When you find out your partner is into BDSM..
Seriously though, anyone knows the source of the pic? I've been wondering for a while.
Bad trigger discipline
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
its more intimidating

Could’ve got me there quicker by telling me the truth
