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.
>>106450902mfw somebody mentions rust
>>106450902This is false
>>106450931Old dogs prefer not to be anally sodomized by fagets pretending to be helpful with their faglang.
>>106452043grim kek if true
>>106450931>>106451031>>106451773Kernighan, at his 83 years, still has stamina to learn new languages, teach them and engage with new tech. Quite impressive, and you would never ever be at this level. Fanatism blinds you.
