Yeah, I understand people might not like it, and I respect that. I would also encourage support it in NuttX. There already is a limited Rust support in NuttX, see https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/guides/rust.html. Personally, I'm absolutely fine with it as long as it stays away from the ke

Re: git going rust

1. its not stable in terms of api thus moving target thus self-compatibility problems. 2. rust does not have as big coverage as c thus not all platforms are tier1 support (i.e. bsd) thus some platforms are excluded. 3. rust requires long time of tool build before you can build something in rust.

Re: git going rust

I honestly don't think it's terrible. I really like how explicit you can be when defining interfaces in Rust. However, I will say that I prefer C. It's stable, ubiquitous and very simple. When I've written Rust I also find there are so many functions/helpers to remember. There are sometimes so many

Hi Štěpán Pressl, Because Nathan is a subversion contributor/developer, hehehe :-) Few days ago I saw a Ken Thompson presentation where someone asked him if Rust will replace C. He said he tried to develop a program in Rust and had difficulties to get it working, then sometime later with it trie

Re: git going rust

What's wrong with git in rust? Also, I shouldn't email it here explicitly in the Apache's mailing list, but for the love of god, why SVN? :-) On Sat, Sep 6, 2025 at 3:58 AM Nathan Hartman wrote: > On Fri, Sep 5, 2025 at 5:51 PM Tomek CEDRO wrote: > > > > > > https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250904
