Rust still has garbage collection if you use Arc and Rc. Not a garbage collector but this type of garbage collection.

> In the previous C++ version, I used Qt, which might seem very strange for a server software, but I wanted a nice way of doing asynchronous I/O and Qt allowed me to do that. It was callback-based, but Qt has a lot of support for making callbacks usable. In the newer prototypes, I used Go, specifically for the ease of networking and concurrency. With Zig, I was stuck.

There are new Qt bindings for these. Go has https://github.com/mappu/miqt and Zig has https://github.com/rcalixte/libqt6zig. I wonder if the author knew about them. I don't know enough about either language to speak on the async parts.

For me, I want these for Rust, especially what Zig has because I use KDE. I know about https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt and it is the only maintained effort for Rust that is left standing after all these years. But I don't want QML. I definitely don't want C++ or CMake. I just want Rust and Cargo.

This reminds me that the Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3) like the Zig Software Foundation. To me, the Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances.

If this wasn't written in Rust, would people care? I still use grep. Does that make me a bad person?

These are my thoughts exactly. Focus on building the best thing instead of telling everyone about the dreams you want to reach. Speak softly and carry a big stick as it were.

This is one person's career move that is defended by the idea that they somehow always make good bets. This is more than a bit arrogant. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I don't see a future for this. I see a series of blog posts that culminate in a tone deaf "What went wrong" finale.
