unsafe?

Almost like how RAII in C++ does it?

I'd like to see an example

LLVM is actually really really good at what it does (compiling c/c++ code). Not perfect, but good enough that it would take tens of thousands of competent man hours to match it

> or is 8Gb no longer workable

llvm compiles in less than an hour on my old m1 mac in all the build configurations I have tried so far

1000x less performance is a bigger clusterfuck

I'd like to see you pick the other arguments apart

"Here’s a real example: a user signs in with an email and password. That flow touches three services, each with a single responsibility:

EmailService::Normalizer strips and downcases the email UserService::Authenticator checks credentials SessionService::Creator creates a session"

Don't know how to say this without sounding arrogant. WTF?

No. Its built atop rust iirc

Rust makes it hard to represent mutable graphs. If I have a value that can be updated by multiple GUI nodes, I have to architect my way around the borrow checker in Rust. Is it safe? yes. Is is performant? for a skilled Rust dev, yes. But it takes me >25% more time to do compared to C++. 25% of a year long project is 3 months

> I'm still not seeing any description of specific challenges you feel are harder in Rust than in C/C++

It's harder to model domains in Rust. C has the same problem and it is a big reason why the industry standard for game dev is C++

What are you doing to make sure Tilde does not end up like this?

Nice read
