A lot of April 1st posts seem to get made on March 31st and that includes from people in fairly western timezones, so I think they just get their post done the previous night, go to sleep, and let the chaos unravel.
I guess not rust itself, but people telling them to switch to rust over and over again. They use a lot of assembly magic to get good performance, they aren't in C land.
Totally, though I wouldn't bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into
You can Programm microcontrollers with rust, so while rust may not be able to suck your dick directly, you can build a fully automated memory safe dick-sucking-machine with rust.
I often joked, that if South Park made an episode about Rust, the compiler would work with a USB connected dildo, that you must suck every time you want to declare a variable instead of a constant, or go unsafe, also would feature a Cult of Java developers, that argue Java isn't OOP, because you can just suck off the dick of the compiler in the same way, and use static functions and not have a complicated class hierarchy.
Makes it portable across architectures while also providing sandboxing.
The fedi software I use (GoToSocial) runs both ffmpeg (Sorry, ffmpreg) and sqlite through WASM, also makes it easier to integrate it with Go code apparently.
everything should switch to wasm. i'm not saying this because of arbitrarily. it's just very well thought-through. wasm automatically provides portability, sandboxing, and integration with other languages.
like, one of the things i still don't understand is why we don't have automatic sandboxing for every application. like, when i download and run a new game from steam, why isn't it automatically put in a sandbox? Why does it have full read/write access to my entire disk? i don't like that at all...
Converting everything to wasm would solve that automatically, and very easily on top of that.
Reminder that Fabrice Bellard, who originally wrote FFMpeg (and QEMU), also made JSLinux, currently based on his other PC emulator TinyEMU and using WASM.
It's Apple's programming language, kind of intended as a successor to Objective-C.
From what I hear, it's actually decently designed and has quite a few similarities to Rust. Still not sure, how great it is outside of the Apple ecosystem...
The fluorescent green hi-vis is usually reserved for first-aiders, but there are exceptions. I was working on a site in the middle of some rapeseed fields once, and we all got issued green - anyone wearing yellow or orange was swarmed with insects in moments.
This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be migrated to Java, so it can run everywhere.
3 billion
Devices Run Java
3 billion devices have been running java for past 20 years.
Proof of stability!
Most of them have not loaded the kvm just yet, any minute now ...
Don't you think, that's enough already?
At least one to many in my opinion.
And no more than that. There's a queue now...
Except next to pools, no one should run there
Unless you have scissors. That cancels it out.
J2EE ffmpeg for flip phones
You mean JavaScript so that it does the same thing each time
Not exactly the same thing, but…

Scratch should be the choice, obviously. It will be so much easier to maintain! Think of all of the new contributors!
Python, for badassness.
I think you meant perl.
The entire system is going to be regex.
That's the genius of it
Better yet: bash. If you can read the code, then someone didn't do their job properly!
Surely at least one other person knows about qemu-user
Lies, damn lies, and write once run anywhere™️.
I hope they’re doing it with AI for faster development. Now that Claude is open source, there’s no excuse to refuse progress anymore!
Only Claude's frontend leaked, not the models
To which Anthropic answered by open sourcing the whole thing under AGPL. Didn't you see the news?
April 1?
Yeah! April number one!
You had me for a second
Can't believe people don't link sources anymore. Anyway yeah it just happened today.
That's unironically what ladybird (browser engine) did
Ew another reason to ignore it and wait for Servo instead
Why the ladybird hate?
Besides the fact that they are vibe coding?
Oh, I didn't know. Yeah that's not nice.
What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol
Ah, just realized what day it is
East Coast here, it's not even midnight for another 4 minutes!
The world doesnt only exist within the US timezone ;)
I don't understand. I learned in school that America is the only important country in the world.
In the real east coast April 1St ended over an hour ago
I am on the east coast and it had been April 1 for 14 hours when you posted this
But the message says it was sent on March 31st.
Timezones, probably!
They just were so fucking fast they posted to the past.

I guess next year I'll have to post a joke just after midnight. I'll wake to find confusion and chaos.
Often we are not even included on maps.
the timestamp is generally local for the reader, not the poster.

You can embed Assembly in Rust. A lot of low-level Rust projects embed Assembly.
Totally, though I wouldn't bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into
Although if you're doing it a lot, you've basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.
By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven't checked in a while.
We get it, Rust can suck your dick... and more!
You can Programm microcontrollers with rust, so while rust may not be able to suck your dick directly, you can build a fully automated memory safe dick-sucking-machine with rust.

I don't see where I said any of the words you just quoted. Impressive if Rust can suck a dick I don't have though, I'll give them that.
The person behind their twitter account is a notorious shitter.
Well
That checks out for xitter
did you know, in spain (or some regions thereof) the "x" is pronounced as sh
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day
Are rustaceans cantankerous?
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
(Yeah, AI slop from the early days when I was checking it out.)
I'll be damned.
Now we just need to find out if the bear's Catholic, and we'll be set.
It has rabid fans and rabid haters, much of it is some identity politics shit too. It's a whole mess
My instance went down, so I'm way too late to make this joke, but anyways:
We're not cantankerous, just a little ...crabby. 🙃
It's over 1.1k comments already, all the rusties fuming 🤣
Just make a rust fork of ffmpeg, it can be ffmpreg.
that's a thing https://github.com/yazaldefilimone/ffmpreg
The readme is far too serious for such a silly name
While you're right, this holds true for e.g. 'gimp' and 'git' too.
This made my fucking day… ffmpreg…
thank you
Yes officer, this one right here.
FFmpregante!
Rust should switch to ffmpeg!
Was jokingly going to suggest a WASM version. But then: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm
I'm only asking this half jokingly, what the fuck?

WASM is great :) unironically

Further proof that this is the shittiest holiday only celebrated by the most insufferable.
Aww. I just like funny stuff.
Me too, which is why I hate this fucking holiday.
Not sure I believe you, TBH.
It's so fucking dumb
Huh, I guess the person who runs FFmpeg's Xitter account must live in western Europe (UTC+1:00).
So begins the festival of fools.
The reason I don't use C, because I don't hate my life.
Everyone knows that Swift is the language of the future!
I don't know what swift is
Mediocre pop star.
Hey hey hey! She married that sports guy with the big dick and wrote a song about it!

interesting. thanks for explaining. I am not an apple person in any capacity.
Pfft; rewrite it in DHTML and ActiveX.
Visual Basic isn't dead ... it's just resting!
Is green the high vis color in Europe?
The fluorescent green hi-vis is usually reserved for first-aiders, but there are exceptions. I was working on a site in the middle of some rapeseed fields once, and we all got issued green - anyone wearing yellow or orange was swarmed with insects in moments.
The neon green in Germany is usually anything.
We have those as high vis vests for car issues.
But we also have yellow and orange
Took me like 5 second after reading this to understand that it's April 1st.
Wasn't that last year?
It's about time!
Ha
