I don't think you can do RTX under OpenGL, so I'm betting Vulkan....

Actually Linus does support Rust in the kernel. He does have some concerns, but so does everybody else. And that's normal at this stage.

...

[bug77]

But what is "unnecessary copying"?

Let's say you develop some library that operates on a vector. You split processing in two, one...

[bug77]

We're all wired to look for familiar things (useful as they may be), but that is a red herring when assessing a new language. No language implements every...

[bug77]

Well, since these are arcane and potentially important settings, the sane default is to enable everything. Server admins who are more in the know can...

Tbh, more mature support on Windows at launch is nothing new. gcc/llvm will close much of that gap within a year, if not sooner.

[bug77]

Not by a long shot. The only platform that has mandatory Vulkan support (that I know of) is Android. And we're talking Android 10+ and only Vulkan 1.1...

[bug77]

Not doing what you want doesn't mean they did nothing. They broke down the whole KDE Frameworks into smaller, more maintainable modules, instead of chasing...

[bug77]

That seems a bit convoluted. I can crash Plasma Wayland by simply trying to mode the panel from one screen edge to another. Like hard, "you need...

[bug77]

How do you see Gnome and KDE using a shared Wayland implementation?
X has a server, that's the part everyone shares. Wayland doesn't have it replaces...

[bug77]

What does that bring to the table on top of Rust?
Last I checked, Swift syntax was pretty much a clone of Kotlin. Which isn't the most legible syntax...

[bug77]

I'm not sure I agree about fragmentation when everything that's not X.org is either very niche or already dead....

[bug77]

Wow, you blow my mind. Any day now you may figure out on your own water is wet.

[bug77]

Well, it doesn't really matter what X would do. Whatever X does, it has one implementation and that is by definition consistent. Wayland had this great...

[bug77]

Well, I've tried hard to put all that behind me (not a fan of autotools), but it was just a matter of defining some targets that would call javac, pack200...

[bug77]

That is not actually true.

From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_protocol):


Wayland is more than...

[bug77]

Examples about what? How to invoke mvn or javac from a makefile?...

[bug77]

That's just the thing: it's not propaganda if the language actually fixes hard problems for developers and developers like working with it....

[bug77]

I've used java/maven together with makefiles. If that works, I really don't see why you couldn't make a few calls to cargo work....

[bug77]

That's what I was hinting at: if they're aimed at different "niches" and Rust's "niche" is systems programming, Ada's "niche"...
