@mirabilos It's not all bad imo. I strongly oppose the "rewrite everything in rust" paired with a "oh shiny new stuff" but there are some nice applications written in Rust out there. It's not as architecture-independent as C, granted. The need for C will also never disappear as you can't go more low-level than C (except ASM).

@mirabilos true. A big part of the issue is some devs hardcoding bit encoding to amd64 (and caring about arm*) at most. I had to patch a lot in rust-land when it came to packaging. imo it's still better than C++. coreutils or gcc for instance will never be replaced because it has matured pretty well and C allows it to be really portable.
