They were pushing C and C++ to replace everything. Rust came from the programmers themselves. C and C++ are like eating shit. Rust is like eating a steak. They'll never go back to C or C++ after that.

rust is growing but C and C++ are growing too, in fact C and C++ grow by more than the entire rust userbase per year, both languages are here to stay even if open flop software troons out more and moer each year.
don't let rustroons trick you, C and C++ have more LOC than every other languages combined and both will outlive us all.

>>107860286
Obviously ATS 4... which is safer and more flexible than Rust, but emits C code so you can have plain C as your "unsafe". Everyone knows Rust unsafe is harder to do right and less documented than C.

>>107860449
>less control
based on what, retard?
Rust is a turing complete language with inline asm and arbitrary pointer ops. there is nothing you can't do in Rust that isn't also a limit in C++.

If I had to think of a legit answer, it is that the borrow checking system makes vibe coding more viable. I don't personally like rust but it is safer OOTB and rust-style errors are superior to exceptions when AI is writing half of the code. It seems like companies are racing to axe as many developer as possible, as soon as possible and porting things to rust will make that more feasible as you won't have to (theoretically) pay as many devs to maintain the codebase.

That's what toy languages do. It's worse than compiling to JavaScript because at least that has the purpose of running in a browser. Compiling to C means they don't know how to write a real compiler, and real compilers can be tiny like Turbo Pascal and old FORTRAN compilers.

>>107860419
yes, talk about deliberate backdoors without evidence is schizo (or more often FUD/bait/retardation). but the systemd package spams SIXTY TWO binaries and counting. it suffers from endless mission creep and expanding attack surface. beyond the "bare" security argument, there is a lot to say about both the details of the "design", and the implementation. but i digress.

<r*ddit spacing>

rust actually helps reducing the complexity tax through both sound abstractions and provably reliable checks, while still being practically usable.

<r*ddit spacing>

you're basically doing the same thing retards do, retardingly grouping things like rust, systemd, wayland, ....etc, where there is no relation at all.

taking a different position from the retards against the "group", doesn't make believing in the existence of the "group" any less retarded.

Hello newfag, the only reason C got popular is because UNIX got popular and everything useful for Unix had to be written in C.

The reason UNIX was popular was that it was probably the first and only multiuser operating system that universities could get for free.

>>107860679

A useful and easy static type system and memory safety without a gc by default. That's basically all there is to it.

>>107860718

this is the reason honestly. AT&T couldn't legally compete in the space do to laws and whatever consent agreements, so basically we got poisoned with worse-is-better.

That's what BSD is. Rust isn't connected to any license. The license of the compiler isn't related to the license of the software.

>>107860657

The problem is that LLM probabilistic nature does not function well in rigid, formal areas like Rust. Even state of art AI dedicated to solve maths need to work in tandem with external deductive/algebraic reasoning systems because they just make so much mistakes.

If you still believe that "the industry" is pushing for a language because of some futuristic AI might make it easier to automate it then you must be special kind of schizo. IT companies can hardly think one year ahead in the future and if you believe they just band together to do something that will only materialize in maybe a decade without any guarantee it will even bring them any profit and not their competition theb you are just being delusional.

we had a tool for that, it's called Valgring and CppCheck. apparently we need a whole new programming language because the users are manchildren.

>>107860895
It turns out that even enabling every single warning in the compiler and using valshit is still not enough to avoid memory related errors.
All those lifetime annotations and ownership rules in Rust's type system exist for a reason. C(++) lack them and without them, static or dynamic analysis can't help you outside very trivial, obvious mistakes.

>>107860847
JS is definitely more fun. It's one of the nicest languages out of all the dozen or two I've tried.
It mostly comes down to the tooling. Many people seethe over webdev tooling being overly complex and constantly changing, but once you get a grip on it, it's one of the most comfy environments out there. You get anything you want with one npm command, you get all the safety and crazy type level stuff with typescript, you get nice HTML mixins with React, you can relax making some pretty to look at things using CSS, and most importantly, you get immediate visual feedback with hot module replacement. It's a really comfy developer environment.
Rust definitely departs from C/C++ by going in that direction with Cargo, functional programming and modern features, but it's a systems programming so it's not as simple, flexible and pretty as webdev.

>>107860906
we already have enough programs written in Chromium.

I think it's the same as raging AI haters. They feel their shitty lot in life is being rugged.

>>107860881
Because it was supposed to be dead simple as C(or the cope dialect of C++ aka C with classes) so any midwit can use it.
Who would have expected that if you want to be both safe and fast you need to solve some very hard problems first.

>>107860895
There is a reason why even Ada is now adding explicit lifetimes. Many things just can't be checked without explicitly stated bounds and relations.
