Not the author but I also moved from C# to Rust. In the first place I did not consider Rust for C# works like REST API but after I proficient with Rust I no longer want to work wit…

> After never catching covid Maybe it is because you are vaccinated?

What language you are trying to port from?

My observation is most people who suggest Rust alternative don't use Rust. People who actually use Rust known it is worth to rewrite C/C++ software in Rust, either the whole or par…

The benefit of drivers being in the user-space is it will limit the damage if that driver has vulnerabilities. The downside is, I don't think the performance will be great. The ker…

Rust give more ergonomic to this. In C++ it need a lot of typing for creating a new type compared to Rust.

Tsuki is a port of Lua 5.4 to Rust via C2Rust. I started working on this because I was tried to build a Lua bindings with overhead less than mlua and found out the approach I use i…

Checked addition by default will have too much overhead and it will hurt performance, which unacceptable in Rust since it was designed as a system language. Swift can use checked a…

Rust is the only language I can easily control how integer overflow should behave. I can use `var1.wrapping_add(var2)` if I want the result to be wrapped or `var1.checked_add(var2)…

I'm coming from C++ now I don't want to use C++ anymore. When C++ was still my primary language I always frustrated with some of its feature like non-destructive move, copy by defa…

> Rust is still popular but it turns out the developer joy is pretty low. Rust is one of the language I enjoy to use. The problem is you need to overcome its steep learning curve i…

> C++ can be safe enough if you proceed with care. The problem with this is if you have a team working on a C++ product you will need some people who can catch memory bugs to revie…

For me lack of language specification is not a problem and it is good that Rust only have one implementation so I don't have a headache to support multiple compilers like C++. The …

Most C/C++ users don't understand how Rust achieve memory safety because they don't know Rust enough. They always underestimate Rust memory safety. The truth is Rust can give you n…

I'm living in Thailand for almost 40 years and this is the first time I have a nausea due to earthquake even it is very far from its origin. I can't imagine how much catastrophe th…

To be fair the UB caused by this function come from the underlying C implementation and this function already marked as unsafe on 2024 edition.

Of course the modern C++ are safer but you can still shoot yourself in the foot. Compared to Rust you still need to think about the memory safety when writing C++ while Rust you do…

Once you know how Rust works it is likely your Rust code will be faster than C/C++ with less effort. I can say this because I was using C++ for a long time since Visual C++ 6.0 and…

You are very unlikely to hit this bug in a real world Rust project while C/C++ you can easily hit by a memory safety bug.

Actually the interoperability is very good. C can directly call into Rust and Rust can directly call into C. Rust can construct any C type and can expose opaque pointers to C world…

Actually it is very simple to communicate with the modern hardware (both x86 and ARM). All you need to do is read/write the hardware memory. This called Memory-mapped I/O (or MMIO …

I always use left hand for everything that does not requires right hand. The only activities I need to use right hand is when I use a desktop computer or writing. I was tried to us…

I don't know about the older generation so I'll explain how PS4 emulation can be achieve. The first step is to understand how the console run the game. The good news is the PS4 has…

Most PS4 emulators work in the same way as Wine.

Those wiki has some incorrect information. How shadPS4 and fpPS4 works are the same. Almost of them can be categorized as a compatibility layer. The only one that can be called a P…
