Awkward naming. "D-Installer", when pronounced, reads awfully close to "deinstaller", which sounds like it is a software to delete...

[ultimA]

It's more complicated than that. Rewriting a non-trivial codebase in a new language is not just a huge time/money investment, but you are also likely...

[ultimA]

Frankly, one doesn't necessarily need to have "real experience" with one language to validly criticize it, as long you've done your research...

[ultimA]

Don't try to discredit me with things I never said! I never even touched the topic of race-conditions, and I never said that any or some of these problems...

[ultimA]

Yes, we don't agree. Just because I wasn't able to allocate a larger block, I shouldn't be allowed to even try allocating some smaller one because it...

This more of a theoretical issue than a real one. When an application requests memory from an allocator such as malloc, the allocator will rarely make...

[ultimA]

And what do you do about crates that don't use your allocator? Also, unless you absolutely really need a custom memory management for performance, rolling...

[ultimA]

Your points only apply if the system memory is filled to the brim. Which is rare. As I said, "just because you failed to allocate 100Kb of memory...

I'm not saying in other languages there is some magic piece of code that you can put in to get more memory and continue with the same operation when an...

It will only become a non-issue when it finally gets addressed and a "fix" is available, not when people admit it is an issue.
Also, you've...

Nope, I talked about crashing at runtime, but not in connection with the borrow checker. You are mixing up my posts with cl333r's. Actually, my first...

[ultimA]

So if the kernel developers say it needs changing, and the Rust developers agree it needs changing, and someone points this out on the forums, then it...

You are not paying attention. First, I repeat, I said nothing about RefCell. Second, and most importantly, this isn't about being zero-cost at all (or...

[ultimA]

I said nothing about RefCells...



I wasn't talking about memory management only, you both are still stuck in your discussion...
