Rust 1.0 Released

Why haven't you rewritten the past 4 decades of software yet?

The community generally doesn't like that name, as it has awkward, appropriating connotations.

That language was SJW quality!

Whom are you quoting?

Fuck yea finally I can stop using C and C++.

You don't need to rewrite it, just make a translator from C to Rust. It shouldn't be that hard considering the languages are similar.

It shouldn't be that hard

Yeah, a couple pages of Rust

>>7
you can't just embed rust in C

rust has static checks to make sure it understands your memory access patterns (e.g. you can't make a doubly linked list in rust)

(im ignoring the unsafe { ... } construct which ruins every safety guarantee that you ever expected to get by using rust)

Not just, no. But Rust supports the C ABI. It's not even embedding at that point, it's just linking.

(im ignoring the unsafe { ... } construct which ruins every safety guarantee that you ever expected to get by using rust)

This isn't true, but it's probably bait anyway.

Does Rust support static linking?
Do Rust programs require the bloated runtime libraries, or can I strip them out?
Does Rust have an inline assembler?
Does Rust support vectorization intrinsics.
Does Rust support concurrency intrinsics?
Does Rust have zero overhead?
Is Rust only a marginal improvement over C and C++, and does it perhaps compromise in other areas thus taking a step backwards?
Is the expressive power of Rust an order of magnitude better, or is it simply just a little better in a few constrained cases?

Guess what? Rust is trash.

>>12
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Nyeah.
*shrug*
Almost everywhere.
No.
Depends on whether or not you have an order of magnitude more to express.

Why did they waste all this effort creating an entirely new language from scratch when they could have just updated cyclone to 64 bit?

>>13
Spoken like a true faggot.

First I gotta spend few years to rewrite all my fibs implementations.

unsafe {

}

wow nice i love programs that crash.
