Where were you when MIR came?
was interested a while ago but that faded away.
what's MIR?
>>54541842
An implementation detail of the compiler that is of no consequence to the user but which is hyped up on sites such as hackernews and reddit because not only "everybody can be a programmer" but "everybody can write a compiler".

soon

Mid-level IR.
Allows the compiler to optimize pre-LLVM. The compiler pre-MIR is/was dogshit slow, due to all the time spent running optimizations inside of LLVM. All of that is about to change.

Shit meme language.

Because speed, concurrency and type-safety bears no significance what so ever
>>54542267
C++ does all of these things without being re-implemented through hipster-tinted glasses, or trying to push a "modern" centralized language-culture ecosystem on you.

Smart pointers
>>54542618
Having safeish features does not a safe language make.
Also in what world are smart pointers thread safe?
>>54542509
to c++ a safe memory model means extending the standard library and code linting, all while leaving the underlying issue intact, i.e. pretty much the node community's way of dealing with the awfulnes of JS
I'm liking Rust a lot so far even though I don't use it much. Would be nice if I could use it for work. But for that i would need to convince people and it would need a decent cross compilation system and also decently sized binaries. Rustup stuff looks promising.

The search continues, anon.

That is fucking hilarious..
