  • I may be misinformed but the article says

    We’ve verified that every AST produced by the Rust parser is identical to the C++ one, and all bytecode generated by the Rust compiler is identical to the C++ compiler’s output.

    which I took to mean that the new code behaves 100% identically to the old code, like a byte-perfect decompilation. If that’s not the case and it’s just the same in their suite of tests then I’d agree with you.

















  • I 100% agree, but I didn’t want to come across too accusatory in my article so I chose to indirectly adress it in this paragraph:

    The real problem is the idea that GNOME project shouldn’t cater to [people who want SSD]. It would be like GNOME not supporting xdg-file-chooser and saying that each app should ship their own file picker. But GNOME does support it, and only apps that wish to implement their own file picker do so.

    Since both approaches are used, and liked, miscellaneous advantages and disadvantages of either approach are irrelevant, and so are other arguments pertaining to design. This is why I haven’t brought them up.

    basically saying I think their vision doesn’t matter when it comes to supporting things like that for third party apps.
