It’s a programming language, which is particularly relevant for Linux, because it doesn’t require a runtime (separate program that runs the code). This allows it to be used in the kernel.
But it also means that it’s very good for building libraries. With a small bit of extra work, virtually any other programming language can call libraries implemented in Rust (like you can with libraries implemented in C).
Add to that, that Rust allows for performance similar to C and makes lots of typical C bugs impossible, and suddenly you’ve got folks rewriting all kinds of C libraries and applications in Rust, which is something you might have also heard about.Ah yes, the C bugs in the kernel libraries. We’ve all seen them.
Ah yes, intentionally misunderstanding someone’s comment. We’ve all seen them.
I mean, what the heck is this passive-aggressive comment? If you disagree with me, then come at me.
Sorry, I was trying to make a reference to an image macro. What I was trying to express is that I didn’t understand the explanation.
Ah, damn. There’s folks out there who either like C or dislike Rust for whatever reason and they’ll always try to caveat what you say about this topic, so I made sure to only list facts. That’s why I got kind of angry when I thought you were still trying to caveat it, without spitting out whichever fact you thought was wrong. 🫠
Any particular part you didn’t understand or just too much tech mumbo jumbo in general?
Iron Oxide. Everyone else is wrong.
Ferrous oxide innit?
Wustite, ferrous oxide, is black. FeO.
Typical rust, usually found as hematite, is Fe2O3 and is red/brown. Also an iron oxide.
Magnetite is also another black iron oxide, Fe3O4.
There are quite a few other flavors of iron and oxygen too.
