Gitlab is totally buggy and way too expensive.

Rust will quickly replace C in the kernel, I have no doubt about it.
Re:Qt 6.3 on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @09:06AM (#31002112)
Just look at the prices on their website.
Re:Qt 6.3 on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @08:55AM (#31001992)
Qt is too much expensive and closed-source.

No, no, don't worry: Windows is the problem.
Re:Qt Creator 7 Released on Saturday March 26, 2022 @06:23AM (#30810651)
It's so expensive. Qt's pricing model is absolutely terrible.

Rust guarantees insane performance and no bugs.
Why Lua?
Re:Leetcode has taught me that I'm a bad engineer on Wednesday January 05, 2022 @07:25AM (#29808108)
I agree. As soon as you start working in physics simulation, 3D rendering, signal processing (image, audio)... you realize that programming isn't just CRUD web apps.

Yes, what are doing the devs? They should spend more time working for my own needs on their free time for their free software! /s
Is it faster than LuaJIT?
Re:Portable and Interoperable Async Rust on Wednesday December 08, 2021 @04:13AM (#29482623)
Rust never struggles! It just takes its time to be perfect <3
This is so much better than the previous, buggy, unsafe and dangerous C implementation.

Let's just wait for JS bindings for all these things and let's see what competent people will use. You already know the answer, do you? Yes, it'll be the JS bindings.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @08:09AM (#28705400)
I doubt that. C++ programs have always tons and tons of memory leaks.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @08:08AM (#28705387)
JS is almost close to the metal nowadays thanks to the stunningly optimized JIT.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @08:06AM (#28705377)
In a few years or so, the runtime itself will be in JS. It's unavoidable, this is the way things are.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @02:33AM (#28703755)
So far, JS has beaten C++ in speed on a lot of topics.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @02:28AM (#28703741)
VSCode did more in a few years than emacs did in 40 years.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @02:27AM (#28703736)
You do know very well that all of this is going to happen someday. Everything will be re-written in JS just because it's possible. And numbers will show that those solutions beat C++ in speed and resource usage, like VSCode does.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Thursday September 30, 2021 @02:24AM (#28703727)
Why use C++ when JS is faster? VSCode proves that. It's orders of magnitude faster than old VS, has more features, uses less resources, etc.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:31PM (#28700832)
Nowadays JS is as fast as C++, if not faster.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:28PM (#28700804)
Electron apps running at the same time: VSCode, Slack, Discord, Signal, Bitwarden, Teams... Most of the apps are made with Electron now. It's an exception when something isn't made in web technologies, nowadays.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:22PM (#28700753)
This is nothing, back in the day we had a 1M loc Java class.
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:18PM (#28700719)
Not even Rust?
Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @06:17PM (#28700705)
Qt runs like shit compared to Electron, and its license prices are way too expensive. Moreover it's C++ so a deprecated, unsafe, un-cool and uninteresting dying language no one wants to write anymore.
Re:Nvui: A NeoVim GUI written in C++ and Qt on Tuesday August 31, 2021 @04:47AM (#28365378)
Just curious: why Qt and not web technologies?
