The Windows installer partition manager also does not ask for confirmation before formatting a drive. That was a costly misclick

You didn’t expect them to use the standard low-level, cross-platform API to build cross-platform coreutils?

I can’t believe that Rust developers would call POSIX functions to interact with the operating system! The audacity!

D seems unlikely to get a renaissance. These days languages are facing much stiffer competition, and D has never solved its fundamental problems:

It is a rudderless language, that struggles with fragmentation due to the hype-driven addition of half-baked and mutually incompatible paradigms, with a leadership that keeps driving away contributors.

I can’t see how any of this could change while Walter Bright is still in charge, but I also don’t see how the language could survive him stepping down as BDFL

Edit: Battlefield 5 is listed as “SILVER”, but reading the comments on ProtonDB it is unplayable in practice

I took a look out of curiosity. These are the current top 20 games on SteamCharts.com, excluding a GTA V mod and Wallpaper engine and their ProtonDB rating:

1. Counter-Strike 2 [GOLD]
2. PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS [BORKED]
3. Dota 2 [GOLD]
4. TBH: Task Bar Hero [GOLD]
5. Apex Legends™ [SILVER]
6. Path of Exile 2 [PLATINUM]
7. Bongo Cat [BORKED]
8. Rust [SILVER]
9. Slay the Spire 2 [PLATINUM]
10. Delta Force [BRONZE]
11. Don’t Starve Together [PLATINUM]
12. EA SPORTS FC™ 26 [BORKED]
13. Dead by Daylight [GOLD]
14. Warframe [GOLD]
15. Grand Theft Auto V Legacy [GOLD]
16. Stardew Valley [PLATINUM]
17. Forza Horizon 6 [GOLD]
18. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced [GOLD]
19. Destiny 2 [BORKED]
20. Overwatch [PLATINUM]

As you can see, only 4 of these are unplayable (“borked”), and 1 has a “bronze” rating. So the majority of the currently top-played games are playable on Linux.

Though Obviously that doesn’t help you, if the game(s) you want to play aren’t playable on Linux

I prefer the classic Bool:

enum Bool 
{ 
    True, 
    False, 
    FileNotFound 
};

At this point the people complaining about Rust at every opportunity have become more annoying than the “rewrite it in Rust” people ever were
