It's made in rust, therefore it must be safe!
Comptime replaces macros/reflection.
It's basically Zig code that runs at compile time in your code...
No other "weird" language to learn; it's zig all the way. What you would have written in macro is written in zig comptime.
Even the build system is zig...
Same for generics, it's comptime...
Wtf are you talking about? Redis is in C....
That's what I am saying.
To quote you: "they don't want to rewrite everything" ...
Writing Rust often implies major refactoring and it takes so much time to write that your requests go: "pewf" closed due to the amount of effort it takes.
Anyway, been there, done that! Zig is probably the real future; it's a joy to write, it compiles fast, clear to read, and safe.
It has shared libraries and a proper integration with existing C/CPP code base.
You should try it, that's an amazing language with a real potential to replace the legacy.
Quoting the guy:
"that rewriting those in Rust will take an eternity, so not sure what is actionable here, hence closing."
That's Rust shining from all its glories here gentlemen...
The best language, if there is nothing changing.
That's a thing to make a web server or a library that displays Fibonacci, that's something else when there are humans with changing scopes...
But isnt the game in pre-alpha or whatever not finish state?
Don't they reset the servers regularly? People are supposed to test the shit out of it... How can you be suspended?
This scam makes non senses...
I am reinventing everything in crates that requires zero dependencies, no unsafe code and the strict minimum of macro usage.
Like I did a simple date/time library last week, I started an error management crate this week, which pushed me to start a logging crate.
I am using the "log facade" crate for the logging, for compatibility you know, but that's it.
The goal is to minimize the dependencies and create straightforward crates.
Most of the time, we really just need a car instead of the 18 wheeler.
You forgot "Recall".
I wanted to make a wordplay here, but I couldn't find one.
Anyway, a lot of people are worried about the OS remembering everything you are doing like it's taking screenshots all the time.
For my part, that would be a big no-no.
Oh shit, look at that! Saved in Documents in my home directory!
