[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 point 1 year ago (3 children) Read about Rust advantages and you will know. :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] jasory@programming.dev 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) I write quite a bit of Rust, and I'm still at a loss. It's easier to write a low-error program in Rust. But low-error program in any compiled language is going to be essentially identical. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 point 1 year ago* I meant things like preventing stack overflows and memory leaks by the compiler before the program even runs. Of course its possible to write bug free software in any language but rust makes it much easier. So when a desktop is written in Rust, I feel like its going to be quality work and pretty stable, despite being an alpha or beta version. And thats what ive experienced myself after using it for a month. Its essentially already as stable as gnome, at least on my machine (amd). permalink fedilink source parent [–] khleedril@cyberplace.social 1 point 1 year ago @jasory @1984 I suppose the main benefit/downside is that the apps will be monolithic and avoid DLL hell, hence more reliable in that way but also taking up more resources between them. permalink fedilink source parent
