Snapshots diff current with previous output and I only have to accept or reject the diff. I don't have to write the expected response myself. Snapshots can also stub out parts of the response that are not determistic.
Rewriting could also make sense if there is a chance to improve the architecture based on the experience with the existing codebase. Something that would otherwise be impossible to even consider.
where do you even base these claims? Do you know what C# and Java threads have that Rust doesn't? data races. And don't get me stated on the biggest paradigm failure that is OOP.
Agreed, RustRover is by far the best IDE for Rust atm. I also use the AI Assistant which is so toned down that it's actually useful and not full of spam.
IDE integration. For example, I use the Jetbrains RustRover IDE on Fedora Atomic, which is an immutable Linux distribution that is based on keeping the OS setup as clean as possible. I use DevContainer to install the toolchains I need for my project and the IDE takes care of setting up my development environment.
You are not convincing me that these people care about the longevity of the project when they are so smug and ready dismiss anything that is not fitting their whatever agenta, even if that is a supposedly passion for contribution and development.
What you don't understand about what you call "pro-Rust crowd" is that there is a reason to push for memory safety and encoding the invariants in the type-system. It's the closer you can get to a mathematically proven system.
If you don't want one of your most core systems to be as robust as possible against security vulnerabilities, even if that means going out your way either learning something unfamiliar or god forbit communicating, like you have more emotional quality than a potato, with other people then you are a horrible person.
Well then raise these concerns and find a way to solve them together. Not dismiss a proven solution to real and even dangerous problems like memory unsafety.
It's unreasonable for educated grown men to react like 12yo children and resist change cause "we don't like eating our vegetables even though they are good for our health". If you actually care about the Linux kernel you will find a way forward even if that means communicating with people or even changing habits.
At the end of the day I don't think that the people that are contributing to the Linux Kernel do it out of good will but rather more about than prestige and building a resume. Or else we wouldn't have this resistance to progress.
