OH GNOES!!!1
this is just so they can spinoff ubuntu as a paid closed source product in the future.
What is this about? someone give me an explanation, im too retarded. whats so important about this?
>>142893there is literally no information that supports this. everything ive heard is because rust is a more modern language than old GNU tools written in C and so the new rust implementation will be able to take advantage of multithreading better
>>142912Almost everything you hear about multithreading is misguided nonsense, mostly propagated by people who don't know how to program and/or who use Javascript so they don't have control over the program, so they just throw asynchronous functions everywhere randomly and create nightmarish waterfall callback chains.Usually the programmer benefits (by having an easier time in the short-term and requiring less skill) but your computer and coworkers and userbase pays the price, which is a good way to summarize most "modern" programming knowledge.
>>142878NEVAR use enterprise shit
GNU sucks; rust is suckier
if it's not written in asm or c then i don't want it
>>142975I got some bad news about kokonutsuba...
what rust has got to do with gnu?
>>142893They can't do that with the Linux kernel.
rust has horrible syntax is all i can say about it since i dropped it after i saw how cumbersome it was to write most things. The memory safety guarantees are nice though
>>142912there is literally.but the fact you have that image with that filename on your computer means you are a rust nerd who's advertising for a massive company for free. It has nothing to do with anything other than licensing. The rust versions of the utils and sudo are less performant, untested, and unfinished. The real gnu software CANNOT be packaged into a commercial product, which canonical and various other "foundations" want because they no longer have unlimited funding from the us government.
