The Last Psion | Alex
thelastpsion@bitbang.socialSide note: The article in that last toot is by the Castle Game Engine project, a game engine entirely in #ObjectPascal.
At first glance, their docs look to be very clearly written and approachable.
Also, they're written in #AsciiDoc, stored in a Git repo and turned into a static site. And you all know I love me a bit of AsciiDoc.
Thumbs up from me!

jarkkoThe de-facto response from Rust application for OOM is panic.

This rapidness might work for user space but especially for core kernel features feels a bit brutal to say the least...
I'm actually just opening my views because in LKML I see "yes Rust" and "please no Rust" so trying to address "in-between-but-doubtful-of-Rust" camp's concerns :-)

@alerque Actually (and this is literal fact) before I did one day cargo install bat, I had an alias for along the lines of cat <file> | vim -R - sort of thing so it was literally just way to shortcut that and not much else.
The way Rust community looks at a “change” is sort of “this would nicer way to do this”. The way kernel community looks at a “change” is more like “we have this alarming situation that we need to absolutely deal with right here an right now or data centers or whatnot will be doomed”.
And even my fav language C is in the end for me an opcode generator, not more or less. Rust is yet another opcode generator with static analysis built-in. I just vote for the tech first and totally disregard “language level” kind of merits. What works the stuff that goes best to the cores best WFM me best in the end :-)

it actually does the opposite: it improves compatibility because e.g. the same prompt translates from something like bash to something like powershell.

For instance, I like that bat has syntax highlighting but I would scrape it any day if GNU's version added the same feature, and I would not tbh care if it was implemented in Rust or not. This sort of culture drives to loose commitment and saturated software ecosystem,.

jarkkoi like to phase plant as a replacement for one shot sample player because a sound can be mixed fully within a plugin which makes stuff easy to translate between projects and even #DAW's. you get nicely self-contained packages from #preset's. it provides measurable value over using stock plugins this way.
also one thing that is IMHO done better in any other synth i'm aware is preset management as you can easily configure additional directories, which can be e.g. in dropbox.
they've really thought of these boring file management aspects, which make it one of the best options for being a go-to synth.

jarkkoIt is slow, tedious, complicated and sometimes even quite discouraging but if you are successful then you are also doing something of high measurable value. And by going through the long and hard path also the end users will get the governance of long-term support, which they IMHO deserve.
At least for me the end user is the king of the hill, not developers. We need to do the hard and nasty part.
