All those memes picturing C++ as unsafe and unstable yet the server that serves these memes is running mostly C/C++ and has an uptime of months.
Lemmy is written in Rust. There might be bits of C at the periphery behind bindings.
And linux is written in C.
Predominantly C. But even the kernel is beginning to use Rust as a way of avoiding entire classes of programming error.
well and it's only running this well because of decades of effort and millions of effort spent on security reviews
Wow, way to ruin my joke.
True, but that's partly because the Linux is beyond mature, and you can ferret out a lot of bugs with millions of users over decades.
Also they're always treating C++ like it's some arcane enterprise variant that uses 1990s C++
Using modern C++ you can write much cleaner, more usable, and really safe code
Having a thorough process and an engineer approach in software development is also pretty handy. There weren’t many bugs in the AGC. Yet it was programmed mostly in assembly and people had no trouble trusting it with their life.
Time to rewrite it in Rust!
