Well, rustc is the canonical Rust compiler. mrustc mostly just exists to aid in bootstrapping and really not much else.
When I said canonical, I meant the reference one which will actually be used to compile "normal" rust code.
I guess this reference canonical rust compiler has the decency to be fully written using rust itself, am I wrong? (I was told it is, then if it is not, I was lied to)
Really, this is not the "simpler" C syntax I was expecting to see in the end, it seems we get c++2 or c+++. I have been coding for decades from assembly, to many high level languages, I even looked at what seemed to be early rust syntax, and there... OMFG I cannot even read that code and make sense of it, the syntax seems filthy, absurdely, rich. Exactly what it was not supposed to be as far as I can recall. In my experience, the worst syntax was perl5, but it seems we have a serious new contender here.
No, I am not meaning to be nice and complacent, you have to understand that something looks really bad here, and you have to expect such reaction as mine, this is to be expected in the look of this.
I dunno which kind of organized people is financing and pushing that, there is a scent of Big Tech, aka teams of brain damaged people and scammers, worldwide scale.
All I know is I am going to stay away from this, until I get some time to decrypt and understand that f*** syntax, yeah I sadi DECRYPT RUST SYNTAX you bloody lunatics.
Yeah, we had team c++ and now we have team rust, GREAT!
Nobody has ever advertised Rust as “C with simpler syntax” so I’m not sure why you expected that.
