I like Visual Studio, and have used it for C++. And, yes, it would be great if they add native support for Rust. But that would not make me pick C++ over Rust. Other requirements m…

My reply was about Win32 and typical C++ development. Obviously other projects may be best written in C# or other languages and frameworks. Anyway, Microsoft is the one providing t…

Yeah, Win32 (Windows API) will be around for a long time one way or the other, and there is a ton of tooling and docs around it. Even for non-Windows usage it is to be considered i…

> which indicates the undefined behavior actually helps rather than hurts when used with good tooling No, one doesn't need undefined behavior for that at all (which does hurt). Wha…

> The Rust Project says R4L is a “flagship” goal Rust's 2024H2 and 2025H1 flagship goals are about getting Rust for Linux into stable Rust, implementing features we need and so on.…

N2834 ("Deprecate the %n format specifier in C2X") was discussed in WG14 (no consensus). https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2834.htm

"Interface files" that are intended as a form of documentation should be generated automatically instead. As for interface vs. implementation docs, nothing precludes having both in…

C++ may get pattern matching with P1371, which may make visiting look more reasonable: std::string_view print_type(const variant_type& jtt) { using namespace std::literals; return …

For C, there is a paper (pending publication) about this. No promises, of course, but the committee will at least have a look.

> Zig and Rust are safe languages Zig is a nice improvement over C, but it is not safe. There is work in progress ( https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2301 ), but from what I ca…

To be fair, I was just a teenager back then and I was out of kernel development for quite a few years afterwards. But you are right, this is not coming from the Rust community itse…

> the almost complete lack of empiricism in Computer Science Claiming that an entire science field "lacks empiricism" is quite brave, and definitely false in the case of CS. Perhap…
