Microsoft is rewriting all of Windows in Rust and is going to begin to force hardware vendors to do the same. What a fucking clown world. Technology is over. This affects more than just Windows. It'll affect Linux drivers as well that hardware vendors provide. It's pretty much over for computing at this point. Rust is a cancer that has spread and we're now terminal.

And yet they still don't have a way to make GUIs for Windows in it.

This is great, because this will kill Rust.

Do you know WHY drastic measures like this had to be taken? Because cniles just could NOT stop writing vulnerable code. 60 years of the language and its subsets and they still couldn't figure it out, so something had to change and it's clear the cnile engineers weren't getting any better. Literally reaping what they sowed.

I personally, as a developer (17 years running C# C++ WebShit), wouldn't touch this abysimally stupid language, but I'm happy there are people masochistic (or untallented) enough to do it.

In the end, the user will lose a few milliseconds of performance but gain (potentially) security, so basically a win for the consoomer.

I cannot wait for Microsoft's corporate rust. Then they can dump all the troons and weird clingers.
>>
>>106518726
Realistically, how do we fight this push for Rust? Is Mark Russinovich puppeteering the troons or are they controlling him?

Microsoft already adopted rust like 3 or 4 years ago and it's used in the kernel already. Nothing changed. It's not like the Linux kernel where corporations end up dictating the project. I don't think Microshit contributes back to Rust at all.
>>
>>106519585
it's strange they wrote an entire c++ compiler so they don't have to touch gcc/clang and yet they use rust just like that?
>>
>>106518726
>>106519455
You guys ever thought that maybe it's gaining adoption cause it's actually good?
>>
>>106519642
>gaining adoption
It's gaining shills. I've never seen a language pushed so hard, and I don't think it's very good.
>>
>>106519663
So you got filtered, that's good to know

>>106519615
I assume you're talking about visual c++? That existed well before Rust was even an infant. Plus it likely was more so to give developers better integration into .NET (along with visual C#, VB, F#) Supposedly parts of Windows has also been in C# for awhile now.
>>
>>106519685
Look at the way you speak about it, you're in a cult. There's still time to run it's not, "unsafe" even though that's what they tell you.
>>
>>106519686
Visual C++ was made for white men. Microsoft chose a different direction, so I suppose they need whatever guardrails and automated tools they can get to extract some usefulness out of the jeets.

clang is better

the funny part is OP is not even a troon, just an emotional little low-test male with zero arguments against Rust

has nothing to do with c and everything to do with the incredible servings of ancient spaghetti layers and reliance on third party kernel mode drivers. rust will not fix the bluescreens, you can make equally dumb mistakes in rust, pajeet vibe code kernel drivers written in rust, will simply be a new age of horrors, the like the world has never seen, far more terrible than 90s spaghetti.
>>
>>106519615
the microsoft compiler is very old. predates clang by more than a decade, and gcc wasnt very good back then.
