Previous thread, now necroed: https://lists.suckless.org/dev/2104/34265.html * * * Rust sucks. It was made by Big Tech (Mozilla) and aggressively advertised as a replacement for C. There are numerous "replacements" for Unix tools rewritten in Rust, all following the same "mainstream dev" pattern. C needs no replacement. C is a mature, standardized language (unlike Rust), tightly intertwined with Unix and Unix-like systems as described by POSIX. Pascal is a language tailored for introductory level programming. It was used in high school and freshman university courses here in the late 90s and early 2000s. I don't know of any examples of serious software written in Pascal. Ada was already mentioned in your previous thread that I linked above, as an alternative to Rust if one cares about "safe" languages. It was a heavily extended version of Pascal made for the use of USAF. * * * Safety is overrated. The more "safe" a language is, the less it can do. The more the programmer is "protected" from "shooting himself in the foot", the less control he has over the program. The most powerful language is assembler/machine code, and C is very close.
