>>107663329Hm well C++ is nearly but not exactly a superset of C that uses its ideas but ultimately takes them in a different more generalist direction influenced by many other languages. And it's obsessed with fulfilling certain promises of C what with the idea that you should be able to exactly implement "int" in user code without acknowledging that that really isn't what the designers of C had in mind kind of like the gospels' (particularly Matthew's) obsession with Old Testament prophecies.Rust meanwhile acknowledges the fundamental validity and importance of C, making effort to support compatible pointers and struct layouts and untagged unions and C strings and all that, but really doesn't care about the exact syntax of C code (meaning it can't even process C headers directly) which is a little bit like how Muslims don't care as much about the Tawrāt as Christians do about the Old Testament even though they still like Moses and so on. And you can tell that there's a ton of influence from C++ but Rust makes even fewer allowances for actual compatibility with C++ than with C.So there's something to it but I don't know if this is actually a helpful way to explain it.>>107663500The Talmud is GCC and clang and the ISO C standard. Pointer provenance and out-of-thin-air values are fundamentally exegetical.
Rust is about trannies and their rights.
