  • mustang

    Rust programs written entirely in Rust

  • It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.

    Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang

    Some discussion here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/issues/76

  • rustix

    Safe Rust bindings to POSIX-ish APIs

  • It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.

  • go

    The Go programming language

  • When Go first shipped, it was already well-documented that the only stable ABI on some platforms was via dynamic libraries (such as libc) provided by said platforms. Go knowingly and deliberately ignored this on the assumption that they can get away with it. And then this happened:

    https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16606

    If that's not "getting burned", I don't know what is. "Trying to provide a nice feature" is an excuse, and it can be argued that it is a valid one, but nevertheless they knew that they were using an unstable ABI that could be pulled out from under them at any moment, and decided that it's worth the risk. I don't see what that has to do with "not being as broadly compatible as they had hoped", since it was all known well in advance.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
