Linux@lemmy.ml•Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for Ubuntu
151·13 days agoIt isn’t always about “new”. For example, some GNU binaries are decades old and were changed only to fix bugs.
C has major disadvantages compared to Rust, which is why even Linus Torvalds said a couple of years ago, to not write any new C code anymore for the Kernel and that old code will be transpiled steadily.
It is not about a cult. It is not about being fancy. It is quite the opposite. Choosing Rust over C is very rational.
Also, obligatory fuck Canonical. Automatic transpiling is such a stupid thing. Have fun maintaining the new code that was written by a machine, while not having any Rust experts in your team.

What an interesting project! Unfortunately I need MCP support, which is why I now host my own GitLab instance to get rid of GitHub.
I will update as soon as I have found my cursor on my 4k screen.



First they changed apt-get to apt. Now this.
I can’t keep up with all the sudden changes.
