Prossimo project aims to replace memory unsafe C/C++ code with Rust
The projects they want to make safer includes Linux, curl, sudo, among others.
Just found it and I think this will be interesting for this community.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm in my 40s, and finally decided to give C/C++ a serious go and try to learn them at a competent level after decades of putting it off, and now everybody wants to move to Rust.
Actually this is probably a good time for you to get into Rust, since everyone is still at the starting point (ish), and you, unlike others, don't have decades of C/C++ habits ingrained in you. So if you're starting off fresh, Rust is not a bad language to dip your toes into. :)
I'm at the level of finally understanding pointers, templates, and operator/function overloads and using them pretty effortlessly now. I looked at some Rust code. I'm not sure I have the brain plasticity to take that on at my age now without massive struggling.
That was me with PHP a decade ago. I was moving towards it as everyone was moving to JavaScript.
And honestly I'm gaining an appreciation for it all.
