Yeah... this example code is bad. Not to mention that CGI is slow, problematic, and chock full of potential security issues. At the very least, spawning a process per request is a DOS attack waiting to happen, even if…
Moves can be safe, and copies can be dangerous. C++ is a language that can be used like a sawed-off shotgun propped against a developer's foot, and with a hair trigger. Granted, it does not _have_ to be used this way,…
I love the downvotes from the typical HN "Rust for everything" fans. Perhaps try re-reading the comment and understanding that this is not an attack on Rust, but rather a post questioning the use of a system language to…
Rust would be equally unsuitable to this task. Web development in C++ or Rust? Why? There may be some advantages to writing a middle tier application server in either of these languages, but using a system language to…
Why would you assume that D or Rust would be make developers more productive? If the developer already knows C++, then switching to D or Rust would make the developer significantly less productive over six months to a…
