No, being bothered by the default hostname before userspace has time to change it is the niche usecase. Userspace sets the hostname very early on, the...

[moltonel]

Absolutely. Setting the hostname in your bootloader config is a very niche requirement. Setting the hostname at kernel compile time or during userspace...

My Gentoo packages are about the same sizes, for some reason it compiled uutils as separate binaries instead of a unified one as per upstream default....

Great to see LLVM triving. I wonder how gcc compares ?

[moltonel]

Looks like NetBSD upgraded to gcc-10 recently, and FreeBSD is at gcc-11. That still leaves OpenBSD at gcc-4.2, which surprised me and is a serious blow...

[moltonel]

Gcc-rs is not a prerequisite, there are plenty of contexts where the current LLVM-based tooling is sufficient (sometimes even preferred), and no reason...

The kernel is a vast project with many different areas that require specific knowledge, regardless of the implementation language. Nobody is skilled enough...

Qt is just one of SixtyFPS's rendering engines, mainly intended to bootstrap a platform while the native engine matures on that platform....

[moltonel]

That's a uselessly weak proof. You have one bit of information (amount of rust code in Firefox) on a complex project and a very noisy bit of data (number...

[moltonel]

Absolutely. The debate is over what those conditions are, and how costly they are to implement. Seasoned C++ devs seem particularly prone to underestimating...

Agreed, FSVO "popular". There doesn't seem to be any shortage of people wanting to contribute Linux-in-Rust work, but they'll remain outnumbered...

[moltonel]

That is plainly false. Rust benefits from the same optimization pipeline as Clang does, and will have the option of using the gcc pipeline when rustc_codegen_gcc...

[moltonel]

So you've decided, without reading any of it, that the discussion was worthless, but that you could still contribute to it ? There are lots of Linux/Rust...

[moltonel]

I'll bite : how is rustc not a proper frontend for gcc ? I've listed a few technical and social reasons why the gccrs frontend can never be as good as...

[moltonel]

Agreed. If it wasn't clear, in my mind the "4x as good" language is Rust, not D or C++....
