          whatever linus decides makes no difference, people are going to fork linux and remove any association with rust.

          you're a clueless baboon with the intelligence of vomit. not a single part of the kernel is coded using rust, never will be. when you livestream your suicide, please attach the post number of this thread to your japanese schoolgirl uniform so we can make sure it's really you. the ONLY thing linus is doing is providing official support for the language, the language isn't replacing anything. rust trannies already on thin ice after submitting code with kernel panics, because the rust trannies have no idea how linux works and have no idea how errors are handled.

            You could have read the actual email thread those messages came from, but instead you're just reposting the garbage meme version from IQfy. If you did, you would have seen the responses where people explained that Rust "panics" are distinct from kernel "panics", and explained that the allocation code they were using was part of the proof-of-concept code they were writing, rather than something intrinsic to how Rust handles memory.

            A pretty good clue to how far off you are is that image is trying to paint Linus as sarcastically dismissing Rust by "just asking questions". Linus doesn't do shit that subtly - remember the C++ rant? If he wanted the Rust people to frick off he would have said so. Instead he was sincerly asking a question, and was satisfied with the answer he got.

        It's not about trannies (thanks for admitting what half your userbase is made up rust shill) it's about the fact that the kernel is now going to take at least 10x longer to compile thanks to rust's shit compiler. Hopefully when the rust gcc compiler comes out this is a non issue but while rust trannies are still hopping on LLVM dick it will be hell to even compile a 4 line driver because it will need 1000+ static deps.

    ultimately the code executing on the machine is still using pointers, even if the code doesn't directly use them
    you'll still have plenty to do

    while rust advertises "memory safety", it usually fails to deliver
    why?
    its simple
    people try to do something unsafe
    rust says no
    so they just wrap it in an unsafe block

    all the unsafe code still gets written
    now people just have to specifically acknowledge in the code that it's unsafe
    that's the only change

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      Doesn't match my experience, people mostly use unsafe for FFI and primitives.
      >they just wrap it in an unsafe block
      That's not how the language works. Unsafe blocks don't silence errors, they only give you extra features.
      How much Rust code have you read?

        Anonymous

        >Unsafe blocks don't silence errors, they only give you extra features.
        This is Rust shills speaking out both sides of their mouth.
        Dereferencing raw pointers is bypassing the borrow checker. Simple as.

        • 2 years ago
          Anonymous

          To be sure, but if someone says "just wrap it in an unsafe block" then they don't know what unsafe Rust is like. If they had said "they just use raw pointers" or "they just transmute the lifetimes" then I'd have been able to take them seriously, but it sounds like they've never even seen unsafe Rust code.
          That's criticizing their credibility, not their claim. I'm not operating on a high level of Hackernews Man's Hierarchy of Disagreement right now.
          (But I also disagree with the claim. I've fixed vulnerabilities in unsafe Rust code and none of it was simply evading the borrow checker, the most common problem was not understanding some C API. It happened with Actix but I don't think it's actually very common.)

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      Well, at least theorically this could make people be extra cautious about what happens inside unsafe blocks, since they wouldn't have to worry about safety anywhere else

      Do they ship Python? I remember one incident where a Python fork was told to change its name (with hints of legal action), but zero for Rust.
      Debian is also incredibly autistic about this and they still ship Rust in main, they even patch it a little. So I don't buy Hyperbola's claims.
      The only practical issue here is self-inflicted.
