C won't be disappearing tomorrow, says the stable kernel maintainer, but the future of Linux belongs to Rust.

    That’s highly abnormal to have minute long debug build times.

        Yeah I doubt it. I’ve worked in large Rust codebases too. I’d do some benchmarking. Cargo has some nice flags that let you see exactly what it’s doing. You can open the compilation report up in a browser and zoom in on different steps of the process and see everything.

          I’ve tried looking before and couldn’t get a significant improvement. I’ll have to investigate it again I guess.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
