Mozilla's Servo Has Been Picking Up A Number Of WebGL Improvements

[ssokolow]

Even a perfect language can't STOP Mozilla to take bad decisions related to design to dumbing down UX, by oversimplification to much of user interface. It's not rust the problem here, maybe it's a bit to complicated compared to C or C++, but actually it's OK as programming language. An better integrated interactive debugger for analysis of crashed (core dumps) will be an ideal software tool, compared, this compared cu classic debuggers like gdb. I mean an whole SDK for investigation various thing like performance , memory/resource leaks detection, operating system load, profiling etc

gdbgui is open-source and jemalloc (which Rust currently defaults to and you can LD_PRELOAD into other binaries) supports heap profiling (or basic statistics) without the kind of massive performance hit you see with Valgrind's Massif, if you want to try your hand at extending gdbgui to do more than just GDB.

Given that Rust is no different than C++ from gdb's perspective (like C, but needs name-demangling definitions and such), I'm sure the users of other languages which compile to native code would also thank you.
