Phoronix: Busd Taking Shape As A D-Bus Broker Written In Rust

Open-source developer Zeeshan Ali Khan presented at last week's systemd "All Systems Go" developer conference on busd as a new D-Bus broker written in the Rust programming language...

huge galaxy not in sight, take a breath pending for decades of development, unknown is daily job in desperate architect nightmares in need, apps business abandoned as proof in development apps future required and system taking over view of <something not said>

Nonsensical, but this almost reads like an interesting poem.

Not sure if they should stay with the name. Or I do pronounce it wrong. But it sounds like BuzzDee for me and that is very similar to Busty 😳

Yeah, waste of a good name.

I read it as "buzzed" which I found quite clever. Hopefully they just write in the README how it is supposed to be pronounced and everything is fine.

Have you noticed that Rust fans only know how to rewrite pieces of software and rarely create something new?

Your mom loved my rust code when I showed it to her last night.

Rust is mostly meant to be a systems programming language. What "new" do you need in that area? What "new" are you expecting in any area, really?

On a more serious note, a DBus broker seems like a premier candidate for Rust, memory errors in such a component can open some serious holes in a system.

https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust - well, depends on where you look. i bet there are tons of obscure projects we have no idea about. or boring ones - since rust aims to be a boring, memory safe language to use.

i would assume that in any language majority of projects are simply reimplementations for most common use-cases. and nobody bats an eye.

I love how they don't show the (terrible) memory usage or the (terrible) CPU usage. It can be just as fast as dbus, but you can't get the same memory/CPU footprint from a managed language as you can with trusty, safe C. I remember the days when very clever programmers would even rely on assembly to optimize their programs. Now you have these snowflakes even pushing back against that or, worse, replacing the well-crafted assembly with (EW) Rust.

Rust is at least nice because it segments all of the non-coders into one group.
