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

[intelfx]

is tokio supported in rust4linux? heh.

Are pthreads supported in c4linux? heh.

[ahrs]

true. I hate how hard it is to build busd

This is far too many steps, can somebody wrap this up into a

curl … | sudo bash -s -

By that analogy C with pthreads is not a system language either. The point is that the assumption that using some sort of runtime system="managed"=slow and inefficient is absolutely not true.

is tokio supported in rust4linux? heh. but it's not just the somewhat opaque runtime aspects of tokio, it's also the that async isn't fully well integrated with rust, so you lose a bit of rust language when you are in async, like with traits for example.

They should just switch to binder... which is already being rewritten in rust, and stop wasting time with dbus which is essentially a failure.

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

"yOuR MoN bLa BLa bla"

So original, dumbfuck...

I thought I'm not seeing this day in my lifetime: A rust vs. C thread that mostly doesn't conflate C with C++.

That's quite remarkable.

Rust is NOT a managed language. I didn't show memory usage because there was no reason to. If you have done any research whatsoever, you'd know that Rust's performance comes pretty close to C (even better than C++).



Push back where? Do you see any assembly in the dbus-broker or dbus-daemon code? We snowflakes also write unsafe code where it bring performance benefits and even write C or assembly when needed.

Agreed, Rusts performance in getting it's zealots to shout Rust everywhere is simply unmatched

rust with tokio async (that busd uses) is not a systems programming language. change my mind.

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.

I'm a bit surprised by the choice of tokio, since zbus uses async-std instead. I wonder what the reason for tokio here was.

Probably might have something to do with async-std not having had a release for over two years until recently? I don't do much async rust myself to provide much input to why tokio beyond that though.
