Wasn’t it supposedly affecting ALL Gnu/Linux PLUS others?

That’s so weird that my GNU/Linux isn’t affected by this vulnerability…

Next time that margarine is going to scream “wolf”, I will take it with a grain of salt…

I don’t know if having an unavailable wife for the next 10 years to let her compile is a “happy life” thought.

Evolution happens by iteration. Every iteration hopes to be a little bit better by bringing something a little bit differently.

F1 cars are a good example of that. Yet, nobody is going to say F1 from the 90’s could compete with today’s version.

And, anyway, time well spent for someone is always a waste of time for someone else.

BTW, I want to thank all the Void Linux contributors for that excellent distribution. It has been a while since I changed my main distro.

I was using Debian for 15 years; but sadly it didn’t evolved much and something new appeared…

That’s Void Linux, exactly how I would describe Void…

I am not here to convince you, but if you happen to look at Linux again, check out Void.

Arch, but it’s tested (no dis to arch here… Just a fact).

I don’t know much about BSD, but apparently it’s an hybrid of Linux and BSD. The Void creator is an NetBSD dev.

We will miss the days Linus was maintaining the Kernel… Who is going to write those poetic emails we all love?

it’s more “it forces you to make it burrow checker friendly”.

A burrow checker is not the only mechanism to write safe code. All the mess of Rust is all because this is the strategy they adopted.

And this strategy, like everything in this world, has trade offs. It just happens that there are a lot, like, - a lot -, of trade offs, and those are insufferable when it comes to Rust…

Zig is “c”, but modern and safe.

The big selling points compared to Rust are:

• A better syntax
• No hidden control flow
• No hidden memory allocation
• Really great interop with C (it’s almost as if you just include the C code as you would in a C code base…)
• Fast compile time
• it’s more readable
• it’s simpler to learn

The syntax is really close to the C language; any C programmer can pick up Zig really fast.

IMO Zig is a far better choice to go in the kernel than Rust.

Linux has tried to include CPP in it, and it failed.

So imagine if trying to fit in a C-like cousin failed, how far they are to fit an alien language like Rust…
