Are there any advantages of using Rust instead of C in the Linux kernel?
Reply in thread
So. Compile times?
I'm willing to have slower compile times for more stable software.

C++ has a tremendous amount of drama.
I think it's the nature of the beast. Software devs are an opinionated bunch. You need to be able to separate the work from the authors.
As far as whether it's risky, Rust has been adopted by a number of companies and projects that have been rock solid for decades.
Your worry seems largely unfounded to me.

Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
Reply in thread
Yeah. I started as a C++ dev, fell in love with Go, then ended up on Rust.
Felt like a nice middle ground of "It's got the types I need, but it feels good to dev on"
I really did enjoy using go for smaller projects though, would do so again.

I think at some level you can't really get both. The rust compiler is constantly being sped up, but the amount of checking it does simply takes time.
It's the age old adage "The fastest code is the one that doesn't exist". The fastest compilation checks are the ones you don't do.

I see it as a realist view. Land has been exchanging hands since Sumer and Elam fought the first war in history.
Practically all land on earth has been contested, and isn't inhabited by the original human group to walk to it.
It seems odd to draw the line between human nature and colonialism.

Israel's neighbors have tried to sweep them into the sea 3 times so far. I'd be pretty twitchy if it was me.

Canadian immigration asks medical worker fleeing Gaza if he treated Hamas fighters
If someone participated in a war, we shouldn't want them here.
Every single immigration form is trying to puzzle out if you are a member of a foreign military.
IDGAF if you worked with Hamas, ISIS, IDF, etc. You go to war, don't expect to come here.
