When we go a full year without a lpe in the linux kernel I'll start considering it...

  • How many of the LPE would rust even fix? They mostly seem logical errors and not memory or threading related race conditions to me.

    • This year, none of them. Historically most or all. So that is another caveat. If all future lpe are logic errors I'd start reconsidering the value proposition. I do actually like writing rust though. I don't feel like it slows me down. I also love the simplicity of c vim and gdb, though my first exposure was lattice on the amiga 1000. I wonder if strict typing makes it take fewer tokens to find bugs?

  • I mean we’re almost there with Mythos/Fable so there ya go. In two years bye bye rust.

    • Did you create this account just to lament rust hype? I mean, it is excessive. But I also don't think it is manufactured. We are more like some mostly benign evangelical denomination trying to get everyone to see the joys of Ferris.
