Its not Rusts fault, the devs are simply lazy and making insecure products, as they dont want to rewrite everything.

That’s what I am saying.

To quote you: “they don’t want to rewrite everything” …

Writing Rust often implies major refactoring and it takes so much time to write that your requests go: “pewf” closed due to the amount of effort it takes.

Anyway, been there, done that! Zig is probably the real future; it’s a joy to write, it compiles fast, clear to read, and safe.

It has shared libraries and a proper integration with existing C/CPP code base.

You should try it, that’s an amazing language with a real potential to replace the legacy.

I dunno man… I’m not sure I’m so keen on a language that prides itself on not having macros

Comptime replaces macros/reflection.

It’s basically Zig code that runs at compile time in your code…

No other “weird” language to learn; it’s zig all the way. What you would have written in macro is written in zig comptime.

Even the build system is zig…

Same for generics, it’s comptime…

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
