As a C/C++ person I guess i'd be the Crustacean then.

Carcinization strikes again...

Is there any benefits to adding linux to a femboy twink?

Do you want ads on your femboy twink? Didn't think so.

You misunderstand me. Rust is tAInted. "AI" is used in its development.

Sadly - so is Linux.

Yes; I was absolutely crestfallen when I caught wind of it being tAInted.

I'm currently investigating alternatives. Redox is anti-AI, but written in Rust. Haiku isn't really suitable for most folks as a daily driver. ReactOS is basically a toy, and is tAInted anyways.

Of the BSDs, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are both tAInted; Hyperbola is still using Linux-Libre; NetBSD itself is untAInted, but uses GCC (if I recall correctly), and one of its forks, MirBSD, is in the same boat.

If I can build NetBSD using an alternative compiler toolchain, then that would be an excellent starting point for a new OS.

I say "yes", with one exception: if they remove the offending code, the project (as a whole) is no longer tAInted. And yeah; there are pure projects. NetBSD's kernel is currently untAInted, but some things in the project (like GCC) are.

I find that to be a impossible standard to put on projects, and creates a community of distrust and accusations.

I found the discussion of Bevy's AI policy to be quite nuanced and fair.

I hope you find projects that fit your requirements.

The thing is, all of these old and respected projects existed before LLMs. It's pretty easy to just... ban LLM usage on a project.

Nah. Rust is challenging to write because Rust is challenging to learn. There are a lot of concepts that exist in few if any other programming languages that you have to get your head around before you can write really any nontrivial Rust code. When I started learning Lua, I already knew Python and Java. It took me about a week to pick it up before I was writing proper coroutines. When I starte...

Yeah I am primarly from c++/c#/ruby (rip) background and im currently trying to make a small game in rust bit I am having hard time with it, especially the syntax. I always felt I somewhat understood the whole ptr/ref/async and immutability until i touched rust.

I have used many languages in my experience but never did i encounter a language I find hard to remember basic stuff. I guess I just need to take some time to really learn it.

And yeah I am not abandoning, I do see the advantages and it does skip many (albeit c++ specific) headaches.

Also keep twink-ing, I heard its a gift for rust 🤣
