> there is a large class of programs that can be expressed very simply using async rust but would be very complicated to express in sync rust (assuming equivalent performance).

I challenge that this class is large, at least in the area of my expertise: backend and data processing.


ships are carriers of cruise missiles they can launch from 2k miles distance out of range of swarm of drones.

Why do you spell Lviv capitalized but Ukraine not? You are too xenophobic toward Ukrainians?

Be serious. I don't care about any of europe; the rest of the west is doing just fine caring about it incessantly at the top of their voices regardless of who asked. My heart belongs in east africa.

I'll try to be more sensitive with what I capitalize—but I don't really give a damn about either ukraine or russia—both seem like far-right corrupt states that don't take care of their citizens well—though I do feel very sad for the humans caught between them.


> ukraine or russia—both seem like far-right corrupt states that don't take care of their citizens

what makes you think Ukraine is far-right corrupt state, what would you do differently if you would be Zelenskiy (jew btw).


Iran is real threat to oil circulation in that region, they applied this tactics many times before. Now imagine if we come to current situation 5 years later when Iran has missiles with nuclear warheads?

> they applied this tactics many times before

Feel free to list the details about when, how and why it happened before ;) interestingly none of these scenario would even have happened if they had nukes to begin with, how weird


Here is example: https://news.usni.org/2023/04/27/centcom-iranian-naval-force...

> interestingly none of these scenario would even have happened if they had nukes to begin with, how weird

this is very weird speculation, Iran would be way more aggressive in its action in the region if they would have nukes.


The only weird thing in this story is that we keep preemptively bombing the same people for at best vague reasons (they were about to attack us trust me bro) and at worst complete made up lies (they have mass destruction weapons, look at my jar of anthrax).

> they were about to attack us trust me bro

depends how you define "attack us". Iran is part of Iran-Russia-China axis, which goals are very explicit in expanding influence and territories (Ukraine, Taiwan, Syria, Iraq, Gulf states). If they succeed, Western world will be cut from semiconductors and oil and become much weaker.


Might, may, could, potentially, maybe... Virtually nothing happened in decades and now that the US/Israel decided time was up the situation is more fucked than it has ever been, potentially pushing the Iranian government into more radicalism, good job! That will teach them. "we had to attack because they could theoretically cut us from oil in a distant future", how is it going so far?

How did it go in Iraq? Afghanistan? What's up with kidnapping Maduro? Is this what the "western world" is about? Securing resources by bombing people preemptively because they might do something you don't like one day?

You can't look at the recent history of the region and point the finger at literally anyone else other than the US with a straight face lmao, you're the blood thirsty nation who's military industrial complex got out of hand, just watch the latest videos posted by the official white house accounts, only psychopaths would come up with these


> Virtually nothing happened in decades

it was decades of very intense proxy wars: Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon. Iran didn't hesitate to attack oil assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abqaiq%E2%80%93Khurais_attack

> Is this what the "western world" is about? Securing resources by bombing people preemptively because they might do something you don't like one day?

sure, that's what humans do through centuries. If you don't do it, you get extinct because other forces become stronger and bomb you.


> it was decades of very intense proxy wars: Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon. Iran didn't hesitate to attack oil assets

Compared to the US and Israel who only mind their own business and never do any shady things of course. Russia says the same thing about the US in Ukraine, but there it's a dirty propaganda lie, when it comes to Iran it's just the Real Truth ™


Plenty of other nations (including Iran for decades) are not getting this stick. Carrots were even offered. The USA has remained remarkably calm remarkably long. Imagine this had been executed before Hamas parachuted a Jewish music festival? Gaza wouldn't have been sandwiched between Israel on one side and Iran's Hamas on the other. Imagine Iran had fallen (it hasnt yet) before that event. Israel wouldn't possibly have been able to "justify" doing a genocide in Gaza even to its own population!

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction.


you are putting words in the mouth of your discourse partner: approaching nuclear weapons capabilities is the reason for attack, waiting until its too late is obviously not considered an option.

Like when Iraq was just about to drop anthrax all over the US? We should study the psychology of normies falling over and over for the same propaganda techniques even when it goes again their own interests

maybe its unlike Iraq situation this time.

its partial satire. I kinda believe Claude/Codex spill lots of OSS code without license attribution for many millions of devs already.

It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't close to the truth.

> Japan debt/GDP is more than twice the US's.

Japan borrows on 0.75% interest rate compared to current US's 3.5%.



Its way more painful for rest of the world except Russia, and not US. They will make little pain on US, and make world and neighbors extremely angry on them.

> If they successfully mine the Strait of Hormuz

allies can just prohibit any ships to enter that area from Iranian shore or be attacked, not sure how Iran can plant those mines then.


Iran has an MLRS mining system.

https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/navy-news/2025/breaking...

It won't take out a military ship but its more than enough for tankers to not cross the straight.


Ok, then the only hope is that they are very few and maybe already destroyed.

US says it destroyed 16 mine-laying vessels as Iran threatens to block Gulf oil exports

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/iran-fires-drones-towa...


You can also kick out a mine out of a speed boat or USV, so that sounds like a non issue.

"allies can just prohibit any (vessels) to enter that area "

Which is kind of difficult to execute when prevented party has shores all the way around the prohibited area and antiship missiles and artillery on these shores.

Shore anti-ship missiles are a thing. Also you can use regular artillery to shell ships this close to your shores - Ukrainians are able to hit a tank-sized target on 10+ kilometers with regular 155mm artillery. There is no reason why Iran should not be able to achieve the same thing with ship-sized targets.

Additionally Iran has navy drones like Ukraine does. And Russians effectively run away from them and hid in Novorossiysk harbor.


Ignoring the prohibition, for one.

maybe they did already?

> There is a whole ecosystem of contributions across the globe and the lingua franca used by those contributors.

which is slowly changing with wider rust adaptation.


Where are the LLVM pull requests adding Rust code?

I am not expert in compilers, but in databases space there are multiple prominent projects which gain traction, create ecosystem and making Rust strong contender against C++ dominance.

some people generate and push lots of code, nothing is surprising about this.
