https://thenewstack.io/unix-co-creator-brian-kernighan-on-rust-distros-and-nixos/The Creator of UNIX has spoken. Rust is shit. > he said. “And I found it a — pain… I just couldn’t grok the mechanisms that were required to do memory safety, in a program where memory wasn’t even an issue!”>Speaking of Rust, Kernighan said “The support mechanism that went with it — this notion of crates and barrels and things like that — was just incomprehensibly big and slow.”>“And the compiler was slow, the code that came out was slow…”>All in all, Kernighan had had a bad experience. “When I tried to figure out what was going on, the language had changed since the last time somebody had posted a description! And so it took days to write a program which in other languages would take maybe five minutes…”>“But I’m — I don’t think it’s gonna replace C right away, anyway.”He couldn't even manage to make a simple program due to how complex and slow the language is.

>>106450902>I just couldn’t grok the mechanisms Am I too zoomer to have never heard people use 'grok' as a verb until recently?
>>106450902which retard asks an unix legend in a unix talk about rust which has nothing to do with unix? op even left out his disclaimer:"I have written only one Rust program, so you should take all of this with a giant grain of salt"shame on you.
>>106450902he's a fucking luddite holyshithe knows nothing about modern technology, doesn't even know what a linux distro is
>>106451031>doesn't even know what a linux distro isYou talk about this like it's something worth knowing about.
>>106451031he's fucking 83 and the talk was about his unix past.why can zoomer retards only think about themselves and not ask any good questions about unix?
>>106450968Yes. It's a shame that Musk completely co-opted an old nerd term. It used to be a reasonably good shibboleth
>>106451031>doesn't even know what a linux distro ishe knows, he just said "whatever Linux system the computer science department is running at any given moment"distro warriors are retarded.
>>106450986a fellow go tard obviously.brian was already regressing fast when he joined that og team of go tards (natively, or through old age) while half-retired. god knows at what stage is he now.
>>106451132Nah, its just you've castrated yourself and have e negative feeling for person calling our your trannyism
>>106450902>so it took days to write a program which in other languages would take maybe five minuteswhat did he try to do? some double linked list?
>boomer doesn't understand new thingsok?
>>106450902>He couldn't even manage to make a simple program due to how complex and slow the language isyet trannies have no issue making complex programs with Rust.kind of a self own, faggot.
>>106450902>macbookthinkpad xisters?
I don't know why anyone would listen to these old retarded boomers. Every program these guys have ever written has had thousands of CVEs. Early UNIX and C code was an absolute clusterfuck of retarded cowboy coding. This guys version of cat had to be patched hundreds of times and had remote exploits in it.
