This is the most tsoding thing possible.
I have tsoding fatigue at this point. BTW are you the DiabloD3 from freenode/#sdl like 25 years ago?

#14Hate to see Tsoding was using Rust for this. Rust is as far removed from recreational programming than any other language.

That's a little bit interesting. It remains then a C-like language with generics, and that sounds a lot more fun than regular C. I don't yet understand the point of avoiding references or libstd, though.
Avoiding references means avoiding the borrow checker, and I don't think you can use much of stdlib if you avoid references...
At the beginning of one of his videos on Crust, he's trying to avoid stdlib exactly for that reason.

I think Rust is quite a recreational language.
The least recreational languages are probably like Java,C#

Why? It's a great language. Very productive. Ideal for compilers too.
Re: Compiler for the B Programming Language
#18Interesting that this is in a self-developed subset/dialect of Rust called Crust which attempts to treat it as a better C, using unsafe everywhere among other things.
I don't know why you'd see that as desirable and not use Zig. Unsafe Rust is actually harder to get right than C or Zig.

It's not rust. It's crust. https://github.com/tsoding/crust
"The Rules of Crust
Every function is unsafe. No references, only pointers. No cargo, build with rustc directly. No std, but libc is allowed. Only Edition 2021. All user structs and enums #[derive(Clone, Copy)]. Everything is pub by default."

Is this satire or did you actually watch the streams?
He doesn't actually use rust "idiomatically". He calls this "crust":
1. Every function is unsafe
2. No references, only pointers
3. No cargo, just rustc
4. No std, only libc
...
I don't know if he is sticking to these rules throughout but that was the idea in the beginning of this project.
