You might not consider much of what they do "work". You might consider their choice freely-given. Others reasonably have a difference of opinion. I'd advise caution when baking in assumptions on what you see in an asymmetric power differential context.

Apparently you have a lot of confidence in your code.

I'm pretty confident if you'd post a link to your code here, it wouldn't take long for people point out some bugs in it.

Yup, there's also the more common approach of implementing extensions in C (or equivalent), possibly with an intermediate language.

For example, Cython is a much more scalable approach, in my experience, than attempting to describe the interface in Python and using a libffi-style binding.
> But as the market exists right now, Rust developers are twice as expensive and the product they deliver is twice as bad.

What? Why? I've been developing C++ for 10 years and seen firsthand the problems it causes and that are addressed by Rust. If I start writing Rust I'm going to be more productive (from build system to maintenance), write more performant and reliable code faster, so I don't see how the delivered product would be worse, as I'd have more time to iterate.

About the rate, maybe that would be more expensive, but I'd say it's still worth it. Anyway, it's not like getting competent C++ developers is cheap either.

As for GP's message, I agree it looks unrealistic that "kid fresh out of college" would magically write performant code because they're writing rust. There is more to performance than the language, and it is particularly easy to write bad performance code in rust (and in C++ I must add). That being said, I'd still be less anxious to have a junior in a rust codebase than near a C++ one.
Falkon is not a top browser so of course it's not going to be the default choice for Linux or any other operating system.

Linux users today are using the same apps people use on Windows or Mac OS. We just have so much more choice and much less annoyances. For example, our operating system is silent in the background doing its job.

There is a stillness and a quiet quality to Linux that the other operating systems don't have at all.

> In my experience, it's usually the opposite.

Obviously your experience doesn't involve budgeting or hiring developers.

Your subjective feelings about how nice or fast it is to write Rust code isn't what we're talking about here.

The original poster claimed that Rust can save money by letting managers hire junior devs to replace senior C++ developers.

This isn't true. Rust developers are much more expensive than C++ developers, and have vastly lower productivity. (No doubt because of their vastly inflated expectations; any Go/Python/PHP developer who upgrades to Rust suddenly thinks they are elite 10x programmers because they have a clue about performance now.)

I can understand the privatization maximalists and - though it's harder - the minimalists.

What's harder for me to get a hold on is the people who say some things - transportation, education, healthcare, housing - should be public and everything else should be private. I'd like an argument for why those things and not everything. Why buses and taxis? Why trains but not planes? What about boats? Why people but not goods?

I guess I can take "politics" as an answer but that is a bit disappointing.
In terms of security and stability I think FSF view is correct

Although I think they could have a second tier, more relaxed for Debian, NixOS and others, that exclude nonfree software/firmware but allows you to enable it. But in general I think it is commendable that they have been able preserve their values and not dilute and disappear

When I buy my hardware I make sure it is compatible, stable and won't have many issues with Libre Linux, even thing like swapping the wireless card to a compatible one

And this has been the rule also for all Linux users. You want to make sure you have a smooth experience, you will have to check for hardware recommendations. Want fingerprint working? Better be sure before you buy

Regarding security most Libre people are not serving cloud services in their computers, and install only open source. So the microcode security mitigations like, spectre and meltdown, are mostly unnecessary. Also browsers and kernels have been patched for it anyway

When I configure a server I will probably majorally never upgrade it, because it will always cause problems, sometimes small, other times big headaches. I would sooner configure a new one and migrate things slowly

What is the incentive of a private company to improve anything when they get a monopoly?

Most of these companies have a high incentive to let the infrastructure rot, cut on maintenance cost and let tax payers chip in huge invoices when - years or decades later - it breaks or becomes unsafe. And they create the illusion of 'efficiency' as not maintaining things reduced the cost of operation, meanwhile the government was paying for that.

It's a complex situation.
Self-driving cars, yes, but I'd say AI/ML in general reached at least level 3/4 at some point over the past few years. Seems to be cooling off a bit these days, though.
> Do you have examples of this actually causing security problems in Rust

Do we need them though? I don't believe we need to go through a Heartbleed moment for Rust before we realize that checked arithmetic is just a good idea. We should be able to learn from the history of past exploits, even in other languages, not only in Rust.

I've also worked in the security industry. I've written static analysis software to detect zero-days. I've done professional bug bounty engagements. I know how to hack systems and I know from experience that checked arithmetic is important and something we should care more about as programmers.

Many programmers don't know about buffer bleeds and how dangerous are. There's a whole class of memory exploits that are much easier to pull off than a UAF. Security is about defense-in-depth. Why ship with an unsafe default?

> It strikes me as extremely dubious to tout Zig, which doesn't have memory safety at all

Comparing defaults with respect to checked arithmetic is something that programmers should be open to thinking and talking about. There's also no need to dismiss Zig's spatial memory safety as "no memory safety at all". Spatial memory safety is a pretty big win already. It rules out another class of exploits.

With respect to enabling checked arithmetic by default for safety, with an opt-out for performance at block scope level, Zig arguably has a safer default, something that I wish Rust would also adopt.

I don't agree that that's too "extremely dubious" to ask for?

> (with a large performance cost)

Not so. I'm working on a project that processes a million transactions a second.

We don't see any impact from this because the data plane is clearly delineated from the control plane. Checked arithmetic is enabled everywhere in fact because bounds checks are amortized across larger buffers. Compared to the cost of the cache misses to process the data, the costs of the arithmetic of the bounds check and the branch across the larger buffer are an order of magnitude less.

You can also opt-out at block scope level for hot loops. But we haven't needed to.

Again, projects should rather enable checked arithmetic by default for safety and then profile. Turning it off by default at the language layer with an opt-in for safety, in safe builds, just doesn't seem like the right default to me.

We can agree to disagree.
This is a story as old as time. When I was a kid growing up in the 1970s and 1980s and the school held science fairs, the kids whose parents were scientists and engineers had the coolest fair-winning projects while the rest of the kids made baking soda and vinegar volcanoes or lemon batteries.

A 22-year old full time student can't even afford "dirt cheap" second hand equipment (nevermind the space to store it!) unless:

-They have some sort of windfall

-They have a trust fund or stipend that they receive just for existing

-Their parents pay for everything, or, alternatively, their parents pay for all of their living expenses so their own money is only "fun money."

-They, somehow, have a high paying job. In which case they probably won't be going to school full time also. Or they're "job" is having a lot of followers on social media.

This isn't a knock on anyone, I'm just trying to explain why one young adult student can be excited because they were finally able to save up for a soldering iron and another has a garage full of expensive experiment to tinker with.

It's pretty much implied this guy's living expenses (or most of them) are covered by his parents who also have tons of extra space and tolerance for him using it.

Maybe it's true for you, but I can hire a competent C++ programmer to deliver code faster for less than what you'd ask.

Also, if a programmer is spending time "iterating" on a performance problem, he's already underperforming. That's okay for less experienced developers as part of the learning process, but expecting it to be the norm? No.

The scissor-maker that has cut through Chinese history
There are some compelling points in the article, however the particular picture he sees those points forming is not necessarily that seen by all. We have all heard convincing alternative views regarding some of the assertions made ; thus cynicism (in the form of curious research and discussion) may be warranted here, regardless of author credentials. "The stakes are high" is rarely truer after all, in the pure economic sense.

Two points I considered additional:

- Let us not forget, regarding Japan's past 30yr economic situation (oft-cited in the article), the important co-factor of Japan's virtually unchanging population since 1990... vs the World's cumulative 50% population increase since 1990, with wider Asia the major contributor.

- I wonder how well 1929 really fits, in forming the group 1929-2000-2006-2021, called here "the 4 super-bubbles of the past century". What weighting it deserves within the set, considering it's anomalous temporal, cultural and political separation from the rest; perhaps reducing the already low n of the set around which the article hinges.
I think Java has one of the best standard libraries out of any language I used. Sure, it has its warts (but the Date class should really not be used anymore over its more modern replacements, which are again, really sane), but it doesn’t make you reach for third party dependencies at every turn, neither for lack of feature nor lack of performance. Sure, you can use hand-tuned collection libs, but it is very seldom needed.
Yes MTR here in Hong Kong is quite respectable: the subway works well, the price is cheap, the company redevelop a lot around stations, it's a model of proper corporate management of public infrastructure.

The only snag they faced in my 7 years here is when they were caught in the crossfire during the protest: at first they would help evactuate protestors during police intervention but then the police asked them instead to help them capture them which led to widespread destruction by protestors.

My own anti protest stance is mostly due to the wanton destruction of MTR properties which I found distracted from the original issue by the angelic democrats turned subway destructors.
The reason this hasn't been done is mostly because C programmers have an allergy to runtime checks that might slow their programs by even single digit percentages.

Ohio State has the only undergraduate wedding engineering program in North America even. It really is an absolute powerhouse of a region with far more national brand name recognition and reputation and monster enrollment numbers.
