That said since we're talking about that too, I would be interested in exploring Rust for some of this too. Modern C++ has a lot of nice things, but it still doesn't give you reliable memory safety, and that matters a lot when we're parsing XML, doing HTTP, etc. as we are today. Using Rust has a *lot* of implications, even more than C++, and I struggle with the tradeoffs a bit because we've just built so much up in the C side. But OTOH, again for a lot of this problem domain, the advantages are quite nice. _______________________________________________ Rpm-ecosystem mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-ecosystem
