From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh, we heard, Rust is the greatest invention since sliced bread. We heard it already. Like 65534 times.
So close to full 16-bit max. So close...
Yeah we only need 2 brainRusts more to start seeing some fun.
Gah. I should have stated "I see what you did there." instead. ;)
Rust is automotive certified since over half a year. https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/officially-qualified-ferrocene
Ada SPARK is not dying at all, it's growing. It is used where formal proof is required like and Rust is nowhere near that!
Could you explain the "no need to review" part? I do keep hearing good things about Rust.
Is it not possible to build that functionality into C/++ compilers?
I wonder how many folks are just refusing to use Rust to spite the Rust Evangelism Strike Team.

I wish there was a synonym for "evangelism" that began with a "u".
Urge? Kinda dark and villainous feeling.
Upgrade! "The Rust Upgrade Strike Team! Upgrade Today!" Sounds very propagandistic, almost doublespeak.
Ultimatum? Mildly threatening.
Utopia? It has the self righteous feel.
Uhvangelism, hurhur.
Universalism?
I giggled, thank you.

I wait until cargo is actually secure.
What is insecure about it?
It doesn't verify downloads are authentic. Its an issue with almost all programming dependency managers besides mature ones like Java's Maven.
Python has been working with Facebook to fix this in pip for like a decade.
But obviously it shows that rust isn't so concerned about security.
Ah interesting. Thank you, you're giving me something to read about that I never considered for crates. I guess I just assumed because of the scrutiny Rust was built with and continues to go through that it would also apply to verifying crates. I have definitely heard about it with NPM so it should have been obvious that it might not be any different for crates. Thanks again!
I hate it when people talk about new technologies 🤬
Same. We should head back to ICQ!
eh, still beats Discord as far as I'm concerned
Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.
Not with that attitude!
I'm already on IRC and XMPP. be the change you want to see.
God I miss the IRC days
