Lol no. JS was fragmented as fuck during the IE 6 era. It got where it is now when browsers got their shit together and started working towards more of a common ground, and it is still fragmented as fuck.

What were the less fragmented alternatives?

What the fuck is this here for? Don't you rustniggers have your own containment thread these days? I see right through your stealth shilling.

FYI I'm not one of the rabid shills on one side or the other of the argument

It doesn't really seem like it can do much to replace C. The language redefines verbosity in a way that makes Java look simple.
I've messed around with it, and the stacktraces of make Java stacktraces look like footnotes.

C, despite a lot of security issues, is a lot simpler to code in.
And this comes from someone who fucking hates coding in C.

Man, I sure love waiting too fucking long for my code to compile, continually fighting with obtuse language features to get anything done and getting eye cancer from looking at syntax. But the best thing is that, as a webdev hipster and thanks to rust's Memory Safety™, I can now bring my shitcode to the world of systems programming without having to develop my critical thinking skills! Finally, a safe space for the rest of us.

This is not shilling for Rust. I have posted tons against Rust only to be direct messaged by new accounts.

Somebody needs to post that cartoon of someone thinking they'll finally create the ultimate language that everyone will love, only for it to become another language in the pile. Mozilla is just trying to push this shit since their browser has been raped so hard by Chrome.

At any rate, C will literally never die for as long as Linux continues to be developed. Hell, I'd love to see Linus btfo people who apparently need Rust's safety so badly.

Anyone else think that the shilling of Rust is reminiscent of the shilling of SystemD?

It seems like people want us on it for a reason. Backdoored compiler?

maybe i am just tired of security vulnerabilities thanks to the retardedness of the c language?

You'll be surprised how far can people go.
