Same, I’ve done C and C++ for several decades and I’ve spent too much time of that hunting obscure memory issus triggered by rare race conditions. No matter how hard we try to use safe patterns we are all too human. The most experienced C++ devs I know are the first to admit this.

In Rust once it compiles much less time is spent debugging and a whole big category of bugs are gone from the production code.

And C++ aient pretty but maybe that’s subjective.

It’s very exciting. It fixes a number of bugs that exist on Intel and AMD as well and has a lot of polishing and features. It’ll be the defining Wayland experience for DEs and gaming.

Many of us have. I enjoy KDE but COSMIC looks very slick and when listening to the developers it sounds like it’s really thought through. They have considered so many details. For selfish reasons I’m glad to see it’s already being worked on for openSuse.

I did a hobby project, a cross platform app controlling WeMo smart switches. Due to using FLTK_rs it works on Windows, Linux and macOS. Was amazed how quickly the code works after compiling. A lot of time is saved in development due to less debugging.
