Congratulations, you were asleep at the wheel. And now one German homosexual is unilaterally nuking the entire Debian project.

What’s the next step in your master plan?

since this retarded homosexual refuses to elaborate on what "unofficial retro computing ports" actually means, this could be trouble for those relying on it to be stable on older systems. because as other anons have pointed out in other threads, apt will probably take a massive performance hit, for no benefit at all.

So rust has "memory safety" built in, but the language also has modifiers available to execute memory unsafe code. I'm guessing the idea is that the language prevents issues arising from incompetent devs?

But also competent devs on memory "unsafe" languages can be made and are just fine as memory safe? Am I getting this right?

Yes and they use it all the time. Most popular rust packages is pic related (this is tokio)

Rust is a cult, they push it everywhere for "memory safety", when people note that rust is a pain to work with they at best say "you're doing it wrong". Then they use "unsafe" as much as they like themselves.

those people should make the move to NetBSD. It runs on nearly everything and it feels like a traditional unix which is nice.
I use it on a 32bit PowerPC machine and its wonderful. I do occasionally have to build things from source but that is not really a deal breaker for me.
>>
>>107089679
So what's the point when they takethe guard rails off all the time? If the dev for that makes a mistake with the "unsafe" code it can experience all of the so called downsides of memory unsafe languages?

My understanding is very superficial, but the more I dig, the less sense it makes, the more rust devs I find attempting to articulate what exactly "memory safe" means. In the end safety just comes down to competence and diligence of the programmers themselves no matter the language?

Reading about rust really does give off cult vibes and the constant use of certain phrases and "memory safe", safe this, safe that, are like chants.

Rust shouldn't be any slower than C++ at runtime - of all the things people critique rust for performance is usually not one of them. Compile time, binary sizes yes, but not actual performance.
The only thing I can assume he means is that rust uses LLVM and there probably isn't an LLVM target for every single obscure retro computer CPU ever made. Whereas people write C compilers for everything.
I don't see adding Rust to apt as being bad, it might actually improve performance if anything because it allows developers to safely write multithreaded code without fear of race conditions and data corruption.

memory safety in the case of rust means no use-after-free. there are other features that have been added on top of that, but the main thing is that the compiler tracks the lifetime of some objects to detect that specific type of error at compile time. could you do something similar in C/C++? yes, but rust makes it easier. using rust is part of that diligence and competence. programming starts at the conceptual level, when you design your program and then decide the implementation tools, you can't wait until you are writing the actual code to become competent

To be fair, you have to have many years of working with modern C++ to understand Rust.

>the more rust devs I find attempting to articulate what exactly "memory safe" means
This really isn't difficult, you can just Google it or RTFM.
(Sound) safe code is code that does not manifest observable undefined behavior. Memory safety is just a subset of it, that is related to memory related undefined behaviors like use after free or null pointer dereference.

>Reading about rust really does give off cult vibes and the constant use of certain phrases and "memory safe", safe this, safe that, are like chants.
Because you lack knowledge to understand this. RTFM, learn the basics, and then you won't be constantly confused by terms that other people use.

Reminder that Ian Murdock, creator of Debian, was murdered by the police under never clarified circumstances.

You need to make the following questions.

Who is pulling for a rewrite of source code? No matter the language, the key is who gains control of the project with the rewriting.

Who is getting paid for it, or who is connected to the people doing the rewriting.

Remember the concept of soft power. Who is gaining soft power with the rewriting?

Also, I was really hoping more of you would address the 3 letter involvement.
As others pointed out with the OP, they're hitting all the check boxes, and direct glowie involvement makes it radioactive.

If rust was so vastly superior it would be self evident and devs would be looking for it's specific features. Instead there's this bizarre rustify everything mentality. Has all the makings of a psyop, in the same vein that troonery is inserted to hamstring open source.

and while the rewrite was memory-safe the logic was wrong wrt. the spec (e.g. validation or parsing)
