but it didn't do jack shit to help me believe that. Because they did not say that that was the goal. So there was no credibility to affect in the first place.

Also, your argument does not make sense anyway. As a native language, due to some extra copying needed and some runtime checks that cannot be elided, it is slower than c++. It can be almost as fast, really close, but ever so slightly slower.

Electron is written in c++. A native language. A native language faster than rust (we're talking about speed not safety here). And yet, it is the canonical example of "bloated and slow". If you were to rewrite electron in rust, it'd be safer, but also at least just as slow.

So if the editor really is faster, it's not because the code was written in rust. It's because the devs are writing better code. That's why just saying it's written in rust is useless.

translating readable, maintainable code to an unmaintanable mess to solve a couple of issues thit might not be there in the first place, is not so much a winning proposition.

An os? sure. A text editor? not so much

so fucking say that. Designed to be fastest editor. Show benchmarks. Talk about your features. I still don't care what tools you used to achieve it. It being written in rust does not automatically make things fast. It may even slow things down, in some cases.

I don't care how easy it is for the developer. And modern c++ is slightly harder than rust, but not all that difficult to get right with smart pointers and iterators etc.

So they should say that it is written with performance in mind. I don't care how you achieved that. rust, c++, assembly, whatever.

Mention that it has very good collaborative editing.

Mention features.

i have that installed on my work pc. Hasn't bit me in the ass yet. I work in a datacenter

I will, in turn, be very thoutful about buying any of your games.

whoops, one of our developers slipped on a banana peel and accidentally hit all the right keys, over the course of a couple of hours, to accidentally implement ads in the game

Maurice Moss almost managed it, but unfortunately he had an overheating problem

each new phone is more expensive, with less functionality.

hover on the touch screen? gone

iris scanner, gone

headphone jack? gone

air pressure sensor? gone

humidity sensor? gone

ir blaster, gone

meanwhile I get charged out the ass for storage space.

Why the fuck would I want a newer phone?
