Greetings,
Apparently Rust is gaining traction very quickly, even Linus Torvalds will use it for his Linux kernel:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/programming-languages-its-time-to-stop-using-c-and-c-for-new-projects-says-microsoft-azure-cto/
Apparently as well Rust will not fix everything:
"Bob Rudis, a cybersecurity researcher for GreyNoise Intelligence, who was formerly with Rapid7, noted developers can carry across the same bad security habits to Rust."
I'm looking into waiving the patented Fornux C++ Superset to integrate it into free open source projects as well so that should fix a huge part of the problem:
https://fornux.com/superset/
What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are that your post seems almost entirely off-topic and is
borderline spam.
Well I disagree because it's a major architectural addition to
the standards I am proposing; not just a minor technical addition.
Are you considering proposing this "Fornux C++ Superset" for
standardization? If so, then your post should probably explain what it
does, what problems it solves, and so forth. Most importantly of all,
the fact that this "Fornux C++ Superset" is under patent *really*
needs to be addressed if it's going to have any hope of
standardization.
And if you're not considering proposing it... then what is this post
doing on the "std-proposals" mailing list? This list is for looking at
proposed changes to the standard. If that's not what's going on, then
it doesn't need to be here.
I already proposed a new "framework" that will allow the
integration of such memory manager, and even standard backtraces,
standard profilers and so on into that ISO standards:
https://groups.google.com/g/scc-wg21/c/0QDx9wjIwmE
But they immediately suggested I waive the memory manager even if
my point was the framework to integrate them.
Rust, or any other non-C++ language, is useful as a topic to this
forum only to the extent that specific practices in other languages
might be useful for adoption into C++. Beyond that, discussions of who
might want to adopt language X and so forth are all off-topic.
My point here is that Rust forces to fix the bad memory
management burden the C/C++ family has that represents 70% of the
cybersecurity problems.
