How much work is it to figure out which sections of the executable to export? Would it be realistic to be able to export a modern-ish (2008-2015) Win32 game into objects and then c…

Surely the C++ surface area will also have increased significantly in the same span of time which means that Rust will still be ahead?

Other than Godbolt Rust also has cargo-show-asm[1] that directly shows the actual assembly. [1]: https://crates.io/crates/cargo-show-asm

It appears to also be called the "abstract machine"[1]. C semantics do not work "directly on the hardware" but instead on an abstract machine that is then converted to the actual h…

You probably think that you do, but in reality you don't. Large corporations have been proven to fix wages for tech workers[1]. There's literally no way that you could have any pos…

Introducing a new keyword means that all existing code that uses the new keyword as an identifier will break. That's why the `constexpr` keyword is deliberately weird. It's also wh…

The Zero to Rust[1] series also has a fairly comprehensive look into these. [1]: https://www.lpalmieri.com/posts/2020-09-27-zero-to-productio...

The second option also doesn't result in any big negatives for UMN associated personnel because the kernel devs take on all the work of enforcing stricter scrutiny.
