I think the MIT license is fine for a lot of things, but the kernel isn’t one of them. It’s probably alright if it just stays a small toy kernel though.

Also, it says to look at LICENSE for more info, but there is no LICENSE lol.

Perhaps I missed it, but skimming through the article, it doesn’t seem to explain that at all.

It also didn’t really explain how it’s functionally any better than the various atomic distros for basic users.

Nah, it’s just that a whole lot of people, me included, are tired of foolish “but Rust is safe!!!1” propaganda-like shallow screams, like kids getting a new toy.

Okay, and I’m tired of seeing every Rust-related thread filled with random idiots shitting on Rust for no real reason (often unprompted, with no actual argument other than “hurr durr stupid cult of rust bad hurr durr why use rust when c do trick”) and then go on about how the brilliant, genius, enlightened C programmers will save us with their 3000 IQ brainpower and never make mistakes. It’s just tiring. Every Linux discussion about Rust, every discussion about some software being rewritten in Rust (even by the original developers), every discussion even tangentially related to Rust ends up like this.

Yeah, what I was saying was that rather than the basic take URL and just put the file on the filesystem use case (which is in the common case not that difficult with stuff like reqwest or hyper), the other use cases where you for instance use the library to process requests and their responses in non-default or potentially bizarre ways is more likely where there’d be an issue. When I said “extra processing” for requests, I was including for instance potentially dealing with TLS and interactions between underlying libraries and so on with all the various protocols curl supports.

Now that you mention it this does sound suspiciously like every Rust-related Phoronix comment section I’ve seen

Tbh that specific case probably wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s all the extra processing curl can do for http requests and the like that’d be more dangerous to rewrite I’d think.

So fucking childish lol. Could have just used a real article about a Rust vuln like this one but whatever.

At this point I feel like anti-Rust people are more cult-like than any pro-Rust people I’ve met.

As expected, these all sound like logic bugs.

Weren’t you the dude posting completely irrelevant articles? As I said before, no one reasonable thinks Rust programs won’t have bugs. Rust helps prevent a specific class of vulnerabilities. The rest is, as per usual, up to the programmer to avoid.

EDIT: I browsed your comments to verify. You were indeed the person posting the irrelevant articles about malware written in Rust being used to exploit other programs and using it to claim that software written in Rust was vulnerable.

I literally got to the final area in Tales of Berseria and Paper Mario: TTYD and just stopped lol…

It’s even worse because I’ve played through everything before that in TTYD like four times.
