‘Rewrite it in Rust’ isn’t a joke anymore
Was it once a joke?
“There you go, now try to add your stupid bugs. See, you can’t!”.
There! Now try to make a doubly linked list
unsafetime.I’ve poked around in the Rust linked list tutorial, and it all seems like hacks to me. At the end of the day I think you just need to use raw pointers when you’re implementing list operations.
its not super hard in rust
is… is that real?
The picture itself is satire, but there already being rust in the kernel is reality.
haha. it’s something I could see Linus doing, tbh. So I wasn’t sure. Thanks.
Yes, but he’s doing it because he values the technological advantages of rust as a systems programming language, not because he likes to punish coders. In fact, rust has been the most loved programming languge for 7 or 8 years in a row now according to the big stack overflow survey, so it doesn’t make much sense for the purpuse of punishment.
This satiric picture resonates with a certain community of conservative and overconfident C-programmers. It has been created by bryan lunduke, who is a reactionary dumb fuck.
Bryan Lunduke on /c/programmerhumor? Not what I expected, but okay.
Actually, Lunduke made the best meme I’ve ever seen.
