I don't have an obsession with you. I haven't read the entirety of your social media presence, but almost every time I see a discussion about Rust on Twitter, especially involving …

I think it's a mix of people being actually hyped and wishing this is the future. For me, productivity gains are mostly in areas where I don't have expertise (but the downside, of …

> you have to understand almost all of the language very intimately to be a productive programmer, I've seen absolute Rust noobs write production code in Rust, I have no idea where…

Worker threads can't handle I/O, so a single process Node.js app will still have the connection limit much lower than languages where you can handle I/O on multiple threads. Obviou…

What kind of reality check would it be when the original sudo got two even more serious security issues this year, even though it's "tried and tested"?

There were two very serious issues in original sudo this year. I can't find much info about them on HN.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not

I love WASM and WASI, but it's not nearly the same, unfortunately. Performance takes a hit, you can't use async in a straightforward way, launching hundreds of thousands of tasks i…

In my experience it really depends on the situation. For stable APIs that have been around for years, sure, it doesn't really matter that much. But if you try to use a library that…

While I agree with the sentiment here, ie. that Ruby doesn't necessarily need namespaces, I think it's also not necessarily good to base Ruby usage on what Shopify is doing. They h…

Have you ever written a web app in Rust? Most of the code is in a form of handlers that receive data, process the data and give some data back. There is rarely need to think about …

"the community" meaning one weirdo commenter you've seen on HN? Cause I can assure you no people I know in the Rust community think that way. Personally I would really like to code…

At some point there was a discussion about compile time reflection, which I guess could include functionality like that, but I think the topic died along with some kind of drama ar…

Hard to say at this point, but I really doubt it will be ever faster than SpiderMonkey or V8 with JIT enabled. Modern JavaScript compilers are quite good at optimizing hot paths th…

Rust is often used for things that you wouldn't necessarily use C++, though. Web backends (but mostly APIs at least as far as I've seen), CLI tools, various bots (like at my day jo…

Yup, that's something that I would definitely like to do. In performance critical applications adding type information can speed up things quite a lot, especially when you think ab…

Coming from an actual JAWS user that has a lot more validity and if you say it will make it harder for people, I will definitely consider changing the name. I actually like Jawsm o…

I haven't seen Wasmnizer before. This looks like a cool project and I'll be definitely taking a closer look when I have some time, but for now I just took a quick peek. The main di…

I haven't seen Static Hermes before, I'll take a look, thanks for the link! With regards to porffor. It's a very good project and people behind it are probably much better at writi…

Hyped and visible on socials doesn't necessarily mean it's widely used, but I guess it also depends on how you define widely. According to most stats I've seen Rust usage is maybe …

Haha, I haven't even noticed it doesn't make too much sense when I was writing the title :D

Just one more compiler, bro. Just one more, I promise. This is the last one, just one more

thanks for reporting and sorry about that! I was prepending some JavaScript code to be compiled for test262 harness before, but at the moment it was just an empty file, so I remove…

Thanks! Although, to be fair, it's a clever use mostly cause I'm too dumb to write the full interpreter on top of WASM lol
