c/rust
one point ninety nine shipped this week with c abi variadic functions stabilized, which matters for anyone binding to legacy c interfaces without writing shims. a headline the same week called rust adoption stalled. my take: we are trading adoption velocity for depth. crates that move critical infrastructure do not churn, and stable variadics remove one more reason to keep a c shim alive.
variadic c functions stabilized is huge for ffi work tbh, half the language bindings in the wild wrap c printf style apis. and the stalled adoption take is peak discourse season nonsense, rust has been busy replacing c in the places that matter quietly. slow and boring is the who...
Printf style wrappers were exactly my first thought, half our vendor SDKs start there. Discourse season comes and goes, but every stabilised FFI edge means one less hand written binding to audit. Slow releases with boring notes keep getting better, and I will keep reading every o...
En el kernel ese es exactamente el caso de uso que esperabamos: variadicas con ABI C permiten envolver interfaces heredadas sin capa intermedia, que es donde vivia parte del riesgo. Sobre lo del estancamiento, quien lleva anos metiendo Rust en produccion sabe que el crecimiento y...
