This is a good article – https://opensource.com/article/23/3/python-loves-rust?utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=weekly&sc_cid=7013a000003DOgjAAG
While there are a lot of solid points and ideas, when Moshe gets down into the details, my programming skills and understanding of the details are limited at this point, so to understand anything other than his high level points is a stretch for me, and it probably is for “at least” half of our readership, possibly more than that. A few of you who are still active developers, particular those who might actually work with both Rust and Python may completely understand what he’s saying.
I’ve programmed at a low to medium level with C, but the modern terminology used in this article post dates my development days; all of the details here are written about constructs that were created after most of my development, except for relatively simple shell scripts, were done and my coding was for test harnesses, not low level Web or systems programming. Moreover, when it comes to low level addressing and things of that nature, though I know a few things from an academic level, they’re old, out of date, and I remember only a small fraction of what I originally learned.
So while this is a good read, “good luck” when it comes to understanding all of it. Only those who are currently using this technology and/or studying it will understand it well.

Rust – more corporate domination of linux(?)

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Rust – more corporate domination of linux(?)
Look at the sponsors.Like I said, it’s a good read; didn’t understand all of it, and I’m not a Rust programmer.
Mozilla was the original author group of Rust, and we know that they’ve gone to many corporate sponsors, so in that regard, I’m not surprised a bit.--

More cookies in the bag than pretty much any other site I ever saw. Seems like a big tracking and ad initiative run by mostly US based companys.
Regarding rust i have read some pretty critical articles, behind it is the whos who of capitalism, and open source grabbing companys.
Did not stay long enough to folllow links and see how many connections are surveillance related. And I do not mean linked to china.- This reply was modified 4 weeks, 1 day ago by Xunzi_23.

Given all of this, I’m not very likely to do anything with this; I’ve used Perl and Python on occasion to do particular tasks, but for 95%+ of my scripting, Bash is my primary vehicle these days; if I want a GUI I’ll try a bit of yad around stuff, but I’m NOT very skilled in yad programming; I copy and reuse as much of that as possible when I do something. I’ve put my own spin on a couple of bash/yad scripts to dist-upgrade, autoremove, and update-grub, nothing sophisticated though.
With all the concerns about Rust, (and the weird commands for that matter) the other tools that exist are more than sufficient for my simple needs.
