@jhamby on Twitter is currently refactoring bash to c++, and it's really interesting to read anecdotes about it and read about the progress. It's a really interesting codebase.
Rust isn't quite portable enough yet. There are lots of small environments or specialized toolchains that are based on gcc that'll compile bash just fine, but once you require Rust, you're eliminating architectures like Alpha (which includes familial descendents like the Shenwei architecture in the Sunway TaihuLight), m68k, SuperH and others.
Rust is getting better, but they're not quite there yet.
> C2Rust helps you migrate C99-compliant code to Rust. The translator (or transpiler), c2rust transpile, produces unsafe Rust code that closely mirrors the input C code. The primary goal of the translator is to preserve functionality; test suites should continue to pass after translation.
That doesn't apply. Streisand effect is for people who want to suppress something. I don't care if you look at that Twitter. I just know that I found it unpleasant, so was just putting a warning out for others.
Recommending that other people avoid a certain page because it contains "strange posts" without further elaboration is definitely inviting the "unnecessary callout" remark.
As HackerNews is a discussion site, not your personal blog, some further elaboration on why you consider the guy's posts "strange" (and why you even consider "strange" being a bad thing in itself) would be in order.
You've been quite unspecific in expressing your opinion: how can we evaluate your suggestion of not browsing that guy's feed without actually browsing it to find out what "strange posts" means to you?
