does all of the linux userland need to be rewritten in rust
no, but probably a fun excercise after finishing the rust book
>>103222465thiswriting toy programs is a fun way to practice a language
>>103222346This thing is a lifesaver.
There's only 94 failing tests now, won't be long before it can completely replace gnu
>>103222812>our shitware will totally replace gnu goys!nah
>>103223756yup, trannies who can't write their own compiler will replace GCC that can compile GNU coreutils that work on esoteric systems that LLVM cucks never even heard of
>>103223878You're just mad that nobody gives a fuck about GCC commie compiler.
>>103222812Nice, bye.
>>103222812>won't be long before it can completely replace gnuFuck those evil GNU people that care about our freedom, right? Everything should be MIT licensed so it's more friendly to corporations!
>>103224218this is my biggest issue with rustthey take GPL software and rewriite it MITactual corpo bootlickers
>>103225616GPL is dying. Get with times, old man.
>>103225710Yeah everything is getting worse. The brief blip of good is being reversed rapidly, and people like you are cheering it on, amazing really.
>>103224218>Fuck those evil GNU peopleyesgnuiggers are a plight on the linux ecosystem, yes, Stallman was fine, but Stallman doesn't contribute anymore
>>103225729That's because FOSS is now larger than it ever was. It turns out GPL was never needed for it to succeed.
>>103222346rms must be rolling in his grave
>>103225616>theynocoding retard detected (you're in a good company).multiple implementations of core utilities with different licenses always existed. the earliest implementations even predate GNU itself.license choice is more of a generational thing. and yes, the new generations are predominantly retarded with their choices.and of course there is no "they". my own rust library crates are MPLv2 licensed, and my tools are AGPL.
>>103222346Best impl on windows. BusyBox isn't like GNU in many cases.
>>103226235>and of course there is no "they". my own rust library crates are MPLv2 licensed, and my tools are AGPL.good for you, the majority of these rewrites have been MIT
>>103222535nice, shoulda had grep in there too
Inshallah one day the C compiler will be rewritten in Rust.
>>103226095I would too if some glowie buried me alive.
>>103222346no, it is just a fed op to infiltrate everything with backdoors. nothing to see here.
>>103227242>backdooring is when you replace unsafe code with safe code
>>103227340>>backdooring is when you replace perfectly functioning code with snake-oil that "prevents" a single class of bugs (and not even entirely because it requires you to use unsafe to do any non-trivial thing)yes
>>103227388please explain to me how a systems language would work without unsafe code?what rust has is definitely preferable to C where there is no concept of an unsafe boundary at all.
>>103227510>what rust haswhat is it? a blackbox compiler controlled by big corpos and no spec?
>>103227510>please explain to me how a systems language would work without unsafe code?exactly.code written by people with a functioning brain doesn't need imaginary "boundaries". the only bugs possible in the code are malformed code you wrote yourself through your own incompetence.
>>103222346Embrace, extend and extinguish.
>>103227675its absolutely hysterical whenever a Cnile falls back to this "I AM THE GREATEST PROGRAMMER THAT HAS EVER LIVED, I NEVER MAKE MISTAKES, ANY BUG IS A SKILL ISSUE!!" bullshit
>>103227675>abstractions?>grug has no need for that
>>103227903I may make mistakes but my platonic ideal self doesn't
>>103227945This but unironically. This is what Rustaceans don't understand. C programmers aspire to greatness. Rust programmers believe they are inherently flawed and stupid and need to be strictly controlled for their own good. It's a slave ideology and it's simply not good for your mental health. Rust is a vegan language.
>>103227635>blackboxThe Rust compiler is free and open source.
>>103222465>>103222346just curious, what kinds of people would undertake such a menial, lengthy, painstaking task?I don't understand the benefits of it, and it's unnecessary
>>103228221well said
>>103228232not free
>>103222346Some do it as a hobby
>>103228245I don't remember having to pay for the rust compiler.
>>103228256you have paid, you just didn't realize
>>103228256>play the "it's free software" card>misunderstands the "free as in freedom, not free beer" partrustreciles, everyone
>>103228326I know exactly what I said when I said free and open source, your mental gymnastics is your problem. Rust compiler is a free software.
>>103222812Does the code have about as much documentation as GNU's?
>>103228339>is a free softwareforgot it's ESLfag hours
>>103222346it all gets written to Rust then it comes closed sourced. calling it now
>>103228414?
>>103228434because forking isn't a thing, apparently.
you know yoyr language is shit when it has almost no other use case than writing whats already been written
>>103228817To be fair, that's all languages in 2024
>>103222465The rust book is a homosexual indoctrination manual. I know because it make me a massive homosexual (and I can't stop sucking dick).
>>103228326Rustc license grants you all the four essential freedoms and more.
>>103222346yes
>>103222535>cpas expected from rustfags
>>103227109NTA but AFAIK grep is not part of GNU coreutils.
>>103227109https://github.com/burntsushi/ripgrep
>>103225986>Unix failed because proprietary>BSD failed because cuck license>Linux succeeded because freedomyup, GPL is useless
>>103229667>tiny utility to find text in files>grep -c package Cargo.lock>61yep, it's a Rust app
>>103228221I told an Ada programmer once that C programmers are dragon slayers, because they accept the challenges that come with coding as the tradeoff for having access to the most powerful tools. This is why C became the basis for every modern computer system, and why 90% of programming languages that have come since then borrow so heavily from its syntax, including languages that are designed to be easier to use without breaking things.
>>103228281meds
>>103229667supplement, not replacement
>>103228236>10000 people learns rust>1000 goes extra mile and tries making something>100 uses linux>10 of them rewrites bare bones grep clone>1 extraordinarily autistic among them asks, "why not the entire corelib?"
>>103228873fucking fags and their fag excuses
>>103222812i don't have a reason to replace the tried and true GNU coreutils with some rust rewrite. Create new versions, not rewrite something that did not need it.
>>103228817what novel idea have you made in your favorite language?
>>103234285It's pretty useful, unlike GNU tools, the rust rewrites do work on windows and mac.
