if you can’t explain your problem and expect people to read between the lines then don’t be surprised people assume the unspoken parts. we’re not oracles here!

the linux foundation is not the core linux team. they’re just a corporate interest group whose 2% contribution is to the linux kernel.

on the other hand challenges like these give us valuable experience. Its not often one has the opportunity to write two programs in different languages from scratch and figure out the coupling. I know I would be excited if I got paid to do such things.

And loose coupling is a good constraint to force a good design for your application.

your objections, I assume are related to duplicated work, and security related?

There are some warts of C that I feel Rust addresses very well. Mainly extensible type system that is not bad like C++. Secondly cargo. Building and packaging just feels wrong in C.

Only one place where C is still better than Rust: Rust does not have a well defined standard ABI. Hence every project compiles everything from source and link statically. Whereas with C we have a standard ABI that can allow for dynamic linking.

looks like a lot of people want to die on the C programming hill. Cannot blame them, they have no will or ability to keep learning in an industry that *checks notes* …asks you to keep learning!

we could add so much deterministic code at 1.5GB that would start religions…

you are an enemy of capitalists though, at least thats how those pigs see it. Your /s was because people thought you were criticising free software and the GPL? Huh, guess there’s more than one way to slice the dough…

One of my resolutions this year is to not sit in front of a screen if I need entertainment. I force myself to talk to family members at home or do stuff with my hands that feels satisfying like fixing the odd broken stuff in my house or helping out with groceries or cleaning work.

Why didn’t you buy a framework, or even a macbook and run asahi Linux on it?

you joke… but the frontend is a schizophrenic who thinks 0, undefined, NaN and document.all are the same thing. We have to be cautious.
