Here is proof that Rust is unnecessary. Lisp comes from the past to save the future from itself.


We can start a LISP evangelism strikeforce and bomb the Rust threads the way the Rust guys bomb the C ones.


You will be heavily downvoted by the Rust zealots, without any argumentation, even if your arguments are in their official docs. I try from time to time because their discrepancy of marketing talk to delivered features is even worse than with Perl.

Comparing to this lisp os its a bit unfair though. This is an async distributed actor model os with various practical shortcuts. Refcounted with manually breaking up cycles. The lisp is very rough, but extremely fast. No linked lists (i.e. cons cells), just vectors. (Very good idea btw, same as in potion). A better macro assembler with message passing OO (smalltalk, Erlang but better than beam). I still want to see the other TAOS features though: selfrouting network, dynamic binding


Even so, somebody needs to do it. What's the use of HN points if you never spend them?

PS> musl libc is beautiful.


They don’t just crash the C parties, anything or anyone that’s not on or who is not on Rust is fair game as far as they’re concerned. If you aren’t singing along with the Rust evangelism strike force party line and voice any kind of dissent expect severe repercussions justified by “lack of arguments”, even when the arguments presented are their own damning statements or criticise concrete code and syntax.
