Rust and low level timing specific code

2020-01-02 18:04:19.516508+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

All right, I've gotta learn Rust: Rewriting m4vgalib in Rust:

Now, given my feelings about C++, I want to see how far I can push Rust — specifically, safe Rust. See, despite having written C++ as my day job for many years, I'm aware that most of the common security/reliability bugs we see in software today are a result of flaws in the C and C++ languages. Rust fixes essentially all of these flaws. So I've been keeping an eye on it for a while. More reliable software with less work? Yes please.
