1. No it doesn't, it runs machine code.

2. Yet again we have the need to announce Rust to the world, when the usage of it is inconsequential in this context

[fluffybucktsnek]

Do you go on every project that announces itself to be written in C/C++/Zig/Fil-C/Java/etc. and make those same complaints? That must be tiring.

[nDRDY]

No need!

[fluffybucktsnek]

Which begs the question: what was the need for OP's comment? How did it bring anything deep or insightful to this thread?

[nDRDY]

No-one (sensible) claims that a CPU "runs" C.

[fluffybucktsnek]

No one sensible reads it as that.

Besides, my biggest gripe is with point 2. Had it been just point 1, it could have been seen as just a tongue-in-cheek comment.

[nDRDY]

To be very frank, nothing in the blog post is ground-breaking or interesting enough to be on HN. The only thing it has is its (probably knowingly) controversial title, and as such, I have no problem directing technical and nit-picking ire at it.

I bet you are fun at parties

[dylan604]

As much as anyone else talking about Rust or programming at. a. party.

[saagarjha]

You’d be surprised

I mean #2 is literally done tongue in cheek
