https://www.thurrott.com/dev/330980/microsoft-to-replace-all-c-c-code-with-rust-by-2030>Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’ To accomplish this previously unimaginable task, we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructure. Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale. Our AI processing infrastructure then enables us to apply AI agents, guided by algorithms, to make code modifications at scale. The core of this infrastructure is already operating at scale on problems such as code understanding.”LOL
>>107640674holy fuck it's over
AI is bad enough at writing code in general that I'd be very surprised if it could write even trivial Rust code that actually compiled successfully.
>>107640674>Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases.What could possibly go wrong?
>>107640674based
>>107640674The most retarded thing I've ever heard.Why would someone pay a retard to remake something even worse?
>>107640857they will declare all old windows versions super insecure and force you to buy new hardware
>>107640674this is gonna go so badlyrust isn’t typescript you can just use ai and get slop done quickly
>>107640880ai is terrible for doing anything that involves concurrent code, like it is common in kernel code
>>107640674ah yesai with algorithms>targeting 1 million lines of code per monththis has to be marketing right? i'm not even an ai hater, llms are clearly the present and future. but forcing 1 million lines of ai code per dev every month seems like a disaster waiing to happen
>>107640674AI AND algorithms?? Holy shit is that allowed??
>>107640674That's retarded hehe
>>107640674more like 1 million NIGGER JEETS, 1 month, 100 Billion down the shitter.
>>107640876Ah right.. Windows is going through their scheduled money farming cycle from consumers...I can only hope that they don't do too much work and just leave things the way they were.
>>107640674>Microjeet>Can't fix windows>their flagship products are fundamentally broken by their own admission>entering a tech debt spiral of which they may not be able to escape >WERE GONNA REPLACE ALL C/C++ CODE WITH RUST when pigs flyfirst zero day and they'll can the whole thing
>>107640777Is he okay??
>>107640674Absurd.>we’ve built a powerful code processing infrastructureOh, perhaps I was mistaken.
>>107640766this. If there’s 4 languages I wouldn’t trust AI around it’s C, C++, Rust and Swift, all because they use some form of manual memory management.
Why don't they replace every line of Javascript (WebView2) first, considering that's the main memory and performance bottleneck? Why the C/C++ portions?
>>107640674>all C/C++ code by 2030does it mean at least 25% of windows C/C++ code is going to be rewritten in rust next year
>>107640674first they turned jeets, now the jeets are trooning out?
>>107640674They should have dropped backwards compatibility with all legacy windows and offer legacy support for a premium if companies and end-users are that dumb to continue to use outdated windows version. That should remove plenty of old C/C++ bloat.
>>107641259>first zero day and they'll can the whole thinglmao, as if that have stopped them from using C and C++ or any programming language for their various products that they have made or bought out.
