Heck yeah. It's only a matter of time until we see lemmy2.0 or maybe they'll call it rusty?
Current devs did a good job but it's reasonable that people are worried about political stuff when this software handles so much sensitive date. Even if it's open source, I'd be worried the CCP or Russia being at some point involved.
That's freaking huge if it happens, an entire community full of rust programmers moving to a project written in rust...
It is not reasonable. It is the epitome of red scare paranoia. You are suggesting a ridiculous conspiracy is taking place with absolutely no evidence to support it.
I'll be honest I thought this was about the game and got confused, I didn't know this was a coding language
Heh, I can't actually see what it says cause of the blackout, though I saw they were considering abandoning Reddit entirely (albeit with Discord mentioned as the main go-to, which doesn't seem like the best choice...).
Given Lemmy is written in Rust, it really would be fitting if they spun up their own instance to create a new community. Heck, it would actually be beneficial to them, as having a central Rust instance would allow for multiple sub-communities for different topics, such as help requests, project showoffs, memes, etc. That would be amazing to see, if it actually happens.
Hiya! I wrote a follow-up to the ‘Better /r/rust’ initiative here: https://blog.erlend.sh/transitioning-r-rust-to-the-threadiverse
In light of the Pawb community’s forking explorations, I’d love to hear from anyone who wants to talk about ways to engage with Lemmy in ways that benefit the entire ecosystem.
Major companies are now using Rust, such as Microsoft. I don’t think there’s any chance they haven’t reviewed it and are not crawling over the codebase on a regular basis.
Apologies, this was meant to be in response to a comment concerned about Rust security. I’m still getting used to Mlem.
