    This could have been good news, however, Microsoft’s insistance on using AI, and general incompetence even without it, makes me very doubtful this will be successful.

    They are going to try and replace C and C++ written by actual experts a few decades ago, with Rust written by idiots. Expect tons of logic bugs, and very little measurable difference in memory corruption.

      little measurable difference? the last time they rewrote something they replaced the start menu with fucking react

      the difference will be measurable and enormous

        Isn’t React technically safer for memory ? I was only talking about memory corruption, Rust’s actual main strength.

        Don’t get me wrong, it is absolutely terrible that they shoved JavaScript in the start menu. It’s buggy as hell, but I don’t think it can ever segfault.

        No no no you see, they’re using rust, which is a ‘safe’ language. That means it’s not possible to have security issues…
