Just like with games, C++ is the preferred language when it comes to desktop apps or AAA games, it just has the best trade-offs.
So GTK being a...

Rust is not fit this kind of stuff, it's much worse than C++, it shines in the realm of little tools and random small libs....

[cl333r]

So you're implying that there are still assholes who think that if they run this or that Linux distro it makes them better, I hope they're all teenagers...

[cl333r]

It was obviously an exaggeration, you should know it....

[cl333r]

Yeah, as a desktop app dev I always wondered why there's no glibc/syscall to just read the damn file without having to go thru 15 error checks at different...

[cl333r]

For anyone (99%) not willing to watch 30 minutes of your talk - in short what are you proposing instead?...

[cl333r]

Plan 9 was a teamwork between American and German developers, the Americans asked:
- Do we have a plan?
- Nein

41k is good but it barely matters since support for each new AMD card drops like 5-6 figures lines of code into the kernel.

[cl333r]

Not quite the right answer but:
I've been curious myself, so, I had recently a task I could 2 two ways: with dbus and without (finding all mounted/unmounted...

[cl333r]
