I really hoped someone will help get rid of Putin from inside RU by this moment (I believe there are plenty of who may not necessary love him). EU should really put more cash on table to help UA.

Better than letting them get killed for loss of territory.

In a way I'm surprised the language standard for C hasn't been extended to have a standardized RAII "hook" concept? I don't think it's that far outside of the core language philosophy. Though it would take years for it to make it through to all toolchains and actually be adopted.

"defer" (1) is probably making it in eventually, but it's not trivial.

To get less Ukrainians killed and less territory lost.

Russia is still attacking, still trying to conquer more land. It's going incredibly slowly and at tremendous cost in Russian lives, but with less resources for the defender, it wouldn't go away; it would go faster.

The only way to end this is to make clear to Russia that they cannot win this. And for that, Ukraine needs a lot more support.

> On a side note, I can't help feeling sorry for the people that advocate for C over C++ when I see commits like https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/commit/121575febe8aa1b544fbcb ... To be fair, I/O is a place where C++ really dropped the ball, too. The part of the C++ library is unfortunately a complete mess. This is not really a “win” for C++ as much as it is a failure for both languages. I think it is hard to advocate…

C++20 improves the situation, though. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format

But yes, in a world where Rust exists, I don't see a need for C or C++ for greenfield.

He's implying that ukrainians got into this predicament by being nationalistic and not because they were invaded

I hope you're not referring to my comment, that was not my intent at all.

There are plenty of greenfield use cases where Rust will need to bind to existing C and C++ libraries.
