The whole ''''rewrite in rust'''' thing was supposed to be a real-life shitpost. People are taking this too far.

This is the worst possible timeline. I do not admit my role.

why is this bad? replacing shitty buggy C with something that's just as (soon will be more) performant and also guaranteed to be memory safe. tell me how that's bad. I'll wait.

Its not "rewriting anything in Rust" its C2rust, automated transpiler.
Put in C, get Rust. The few manual fixes are implementation specific quirks that Rust can't handle right now.

Listen here, you sphincter. Are you going to be productive, or do I need to deport your ass to HackerNews?

It already caught one memory-safety bug just by a mechanical translation to Rust. Too bad C-tards can't be trusted to run similar analyzers on their own code.

I am pretty sure that dependent types would have prevented this.

Imagine how Bjarne Stroustrup programmers feel.

There's no such thing as timelines, only pathology. What you don't correct, nature will provide.

CPU ARM7TDMI @ 16.78 MHz, Sharp LR35902 (8080-derived) @ 8 or 4 MHz

Explain.

Dreamcast is many times better than that PoS, and both aren't Lisp machines.

Just saw this on my RSS, a fork of coreboot written in Rust.
