<dbohdan> Has anyone here written a Tcl extension in Rust?
<sebres> dbohdan: me (but binding to my own tcl)... it's not complex - may be reading
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ffi.html help... and I saw one on github (I think it called "rust-tcl"), but have not tried that... found -
https://github.com/AngryLawyer/rust-tcl<dbohdan> How did you like working with it compared to C or C++? I am thinking of learning the language, particularly to write Tcl and BEAM extensions.
<sebres> dbohdan: well Rust is good (I find it better as Go in many cases), more robust (so more safe and mem-stable etc, but it is important for people don't really familiar with C)... anyway useable. But C, D (or even C++) are still better in my opinion.
<sebres> I'd like to have something deeply native like C, with some features that providing Rust or may be python (typed/compiled) and a litle chunk of things from functional langs (like Haskell) with more C-similar sintax... unfortunately I'm afraid we'll never see that and I have to write my own lang.
<ijchain> <suchenwi> Standards are great - everyone should have his own... :D
<sebres> dbohdan: as for pros of Rust, here was a good article -
