I was expecting only the finest ad hominems from the systemd developers, but @davidstrauss's are only a 2/10https://twitter.com/DavidStrauss/status/781766766242308096 …

There's no reason systemd needs to be written in a language as low-level as Rust anyway... GC would be perfectly fine.
-
lowlevel isn't the important part about Rust. Rust's main selling points are safety (even with concurrency)
-
It's incredibly constrained by the focus on performance and low-level control. Of course it's important...
-
It would be a much different language otherwise. It has to sacrifice a lot of usability for performance/control.
-
It actually adds a lot of usability too. Options and Results alone, the way traits work,.…
-
Doesn't change the fact that it's a low-level language and memory management is always at the forefront.
-
are you just saying that it's low-level because it doesn't have GC, or have you actual experience?
