What is all this retardation about Git and Rust that's making the rounds on Xitter? That Git won't work without Rust, what?
Also, if true, I'm evermore vindicated for sticking with SVN all these years. Thank God for Subversion, the truest of version controls.

IDGI. GameOfTrees compiles perfectly well on my OpenBSD porn server?

If you're looking for a straight-C version control, Fossil is mostly C89 with a little C99, and stores in a SQLite database instead of proprietary bullshit. https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki More on why SQLite guys don't use Git here: https://www.sqlite.org/whynotgit.html

Fossil is almost perfect but SQLite chokes pretty badly on binary files and it's lack of pull/push request support (Even making patches is pretty wonky) are two huge bullets in an otherwise excellent product.

Rofl no, Rust sucks eggs and no one worth their salt on the GNU side of things is even remotely thinking about doing RIIR shit. If they were to try and rewrite it in Scheme, however....

eventually they will make a memory-safe system programming scheme and the hurd will be rewritten in this language. at which point it will become hurd 1.0 and all cuck license niggers will be converted to the church of emacs and all proprietaroids will 41% en masse because they know that rms has already won

some nigger wants to add 3000 dependencies and be all smug about it, apparently

Could this queer be anymore of a faggot? I cannot fathom how anyone could write that description of themself, read it, and not think: "yes, I deserve to be mercilessly bullied."

he's not really a programmer because he thinks rust is the ultimate language
somebody obviously needs to read his sicp

Honestly most of those could be salvagable but putting queer on the end just derails the whole thing.

no, absolutely not. anybody who calls themselves a "cat parent" is reddited beyond saving

Listen, I too use multiple programming languages, own and use a bike, have cats, and speak at least two languages.

I am however not a queer and not a faggot, so I'd never write that cringe fart huffing summary about myself. I also luckily do not live in, and have never visited, Canada.

You do have a Kiwi Farms account though, so I'm pressing x to doubt on that one.

It's baffling to me, how many weird degenerates are drawn to the Internet and OSS in particular. Where these people - and I use that term loosely here - always among us, just unable to indulge in their madness? Or are they a byproduct of modern technology? The ones who drown in the Internet instead of surfing it, so to speak?

i just think that the world has and always had a lot of relative weirdos, they just have (and still do, most of the time) tone it down more in public
the internet just lets you see incredibly far. that includes being able to see several thousand weird-ass niggers at any given time
sometimes the weirdos are like richard stallman and they end up making incredible things possible with their weirdness, but a lot of the time they're just rust troons and they end up not amounting to that much
for me seeing weird degenerates is as normal as seeing trees or grass. they are a natural part of the ecosystem

I'm just waiting for the very serious implementation of the Wayland protocol written in Jai. Of course licensed under the Beer-ware+nigger license.

Well then.... is SVN or Mercirurial able to be replace git without package managers bitching that git is a dependancy for any AUR package i'd want to use?

yes the aur uses git to download the aur definitions themselves but the actual programs are usually downloaded as source tarballs using curl or whatever

Unless they're -git packages, naturally.
As for the definitions, you can grab them with wget/curl/whatever from https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/<pkgname>.tar.gz

Mercurial also uses Rust, if you want to avoid it that hard.

makes sense since iirc mercurial is the mozilla house source control and rust is their house language

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

Introducing rust into git is so fucking dumb. Especially if they aren't just going to do a full rewrite. So now you have a mixed codebase? Sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

That said. I'm still not going to move to one of the other gay ass version control systems. I use some full rust programs now. It's not like it matters that much. I just think the need to rewrite, and infect everything with it is frustrating. And pointless. Compiling rust programs sucks. Crates suck, it builds slow. It's a mid language, and I hope zig can get it's shit together soon, and stamp out the rust tranny menace.I'm bit there though.

 

[Creative Username]

Crates suck

yes they are by far the worst thing about rust
i would be almost sort of fine with rust if not for the retarded package manager

hope zig can get it's shit together soon, and stamp out the rust tranny menace.

zig? fucking seriously? that's just another iteration of the same "c for the 21st century" gay retardation that rust is a flawless example of
and it doesn't even have the upsides of being memory-safe or being slightly less retarded than c++ or having syntactic macros (even though they look absolutely horrible) or compile-time checked concurrency that rust has going for it
zig only has a couple things going for it and the compiler is fucking retarded and will reject your program if you don't follow the fucking style guide

Troons have been raiding the pull requests section of the Linux kernel's Github mirror for the past days. Pull requests aren't accepted there but since there is no way to disable opening a PR on github it's a completely unmoderated shitposting area.

One of the largest now is one titled " transgender lesbians please dm me" (archive). Over 600 replies from 200 people, almost all of them exactly of the kind you think they are, some posting Discord usernames and pictures to go along. (Viewer discretion advised for the last part)

Fortunately a lot of the photos have been deleted, this thread should be archived quite fast.

So now you have a mixed codebase? Sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

This alone is the biggest problem with the "put rust in X" crowd. Open source software is open source. Anyone can take it and rewrite it in their favourite language. Same applies to closed source, you can write a clone. But you better have good reason to mix two mutually exclusive languages in a single project, because in 99% of cases this gives no advantages and makes it more difficult to build the project. Thats how you end up with currycode that builds only on a specific version of Ubuntu LTS or other retarded concepts that plague modern DevOps.

rust actually isn't absolutely terrible for rewriting parts of a c codebase in. it has a decent c ffi and you can do an equivalent of c++'s extern "C" so you can have rust code calling c code and c code calling rust code without much of a problem. there are probably a few bits of weird jank here and there (i suspect getting your gcc-compiled c and your llvm-compiled rust to link together with full lto and all that isn't too easy for the time being, at least until we get a mature rust implementation for gcc) but it's actually one of the smarter languages to rewrite bits of a c program in if you wanted to shit up your dependency graph like that for some reason
there are much worse alternatives. imagine if they were trying to rewrite it in c# or something

The big retardation about adding Rust to Git is that rustc's platform support is still crap after all these years. Don't let the weasel wording about how Tier 2 often works fool you; musl-based Linux was already considered Tier 2 in 2020 and that shit did not work well in 2020. In contrast, C-based Git works on basically everything that you'd ever need Git on.
