Not necessarily but it does make it easier to replace incrementally. There are multiple solutions for this in many languages. In Rust, one could use...

[RahulSundaram]

No, there are actual new production projects where Rust is the core of how things work for millions of users and not some side project as you keep implying....

[RahulSundaram]

You should discard it. Backporting specifically means taking a patch and adjusting it to work on an older version. Since that concept simply doesn't...

[RahulSundaram]

Yes, you as a client might have presented code talking about how the DTrace scripting language called D has certain capabilities. It has nothing at all...

[RahulSundaram]

It took me zero google searches as I already said, I merely listed projects I am directly familiar with that already use Rust and instead of admitting...

[RahulSundaram]

Rust is supported by more than just Mozilla and Google already has several unofficial projects written in Rust. Rust is a trademark but so is Linux itself....

[RahulSundaram]

I skipped over this originally but it is worth pointing out that Dtrace is NOT written in D. D in that doesn't indicate the language used. It stands for...

[RahulSundaram]

This is just categorically not true though. We are not talking about random github projects. I am referring to huge users like Discord, Chef, Dropbox,...

[RahulSundaram]

Rust is about to be 10 years old and it provides more than just wishes and assumptions. It is designed to provably eliminate entire classes of bugs and...

[RahulSundaram]

The stability improved through systematic efforts like adding unit, fuzzers and so forth. Regressions weren't uncommon at all in prior releases including...

[RahulSundaram]

This hasn't worked out well in practice because one person cannot possibly read millions of code and said person cannot scale and you have a bus factor...

[RahulSundaram]

Err no, plenty of things including resolvers and caching clients can listen to the port. That doesn't make them a server. There is no DNS server in...

[RahulSundaram]

OP clearly wasn't talking about FreeBSD since he made the comparison to systemd explicitly. However if you are talking about openrc on freebsd, that's...

[RahulSundaram]

There is plenty of features in systemd init that have no comparable equivalents in other init systems and they are heavily used in production. It is...

[RahulSundaram]

Noone is questioning that because people understand the differences between a text editor and a full Office suite with millions of lines of code...

[RahulSundaram]

XFS is the default for Fedora server. For workstation, shrinking was considered important and the feature set for Btrfs is quite different...

[RahulSundaram]

While Fedora serves as upstream for RHEL, Fedora is considerably different in many areas already (Ext4 is the default in Fedora workstation while Xfs...

[RahulSundaram]

The phrasing here seems a bit murky. MPL requires all modifications of MPL files themselves to be made available under MPL. You can think of it more...
