For a good month, it was nearly impossible to avoid hearing about it. Now, I can't find any news.

Just got a call from Rust HQ; they cancelled the project and are deleting all the articles talking about it

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah, got that memo too. Apparently Biden didn't like the name, too bad.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Or it's a quiet news cycle. It could be either.

Alec Baldwin killed it

Probably now that support is in the kernel anyone who wants to use it is busy actually writing code.

[-] zeerooth@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 33 points 1 year ago

what do you mean? it's still being used in many many projects and is as great as ever

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's especially about Rust in the Linux kernel. There was a lot of fuss as the "foundation" for writing Rust drivers was merged, but since then there has been cvery few news about it going forward and being used to develop new drivers.

The language itself is obviously still going very strong.

Now that you mention it, there really has been like a year since rust has first been introduced the the kernel officially. I don't know if any parts of it have been written in rust as of now or whether new drivers have been made, but I suppose it's most likely still experimental in a way.

I know that Asahi Linux uses Rust for its graphics driver but I don't think it has been upstream yet.

Where is Rust? Is she safe? Is she alright?

Because now you can't write "rust" without written consent from rust foundation. Btw, prepare to getting sued.

Edit: /s of course, what's wrong with you people. It's a reference to recent rust trademark policy drama

All I know is cargo takes forever to compile when installing something so I don't like it

[-] d_k_bo@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you want to install CLI tools using cargo install you should try cargo-binstall to avoid compiling them from source.

That's awesome I'll take a look at it

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
