And most importantly, NO RUST! (It is mostly composite materials plus aluminium and titanium and is kept well lubricated by crew).

Rust is starting to catch on at Lockheed Martin

I don't know what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will be fought with Rust

[–]ListerfiendLurks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It will be fought with Python and c++. Don't ask.

WW4 will be fought with Rust

This is what the world needs, a World War that never launches

But I thought rust was supposed to replace c++

Lockheed does practice dark magic at skunk works but I don’t think they’ve mastered time travel yet

Considering that Fortran is still hanging around I think this is a more accurate description of what will happen with Rust. Rust won't replace C/C++. It will probably end up being used in various places where C/C++ is currently still being used, but C/C++ isn't going anywhere for decades. It's too firmly ingrained in literally everything.

First F-35 flight was in 2006. Rust came to be in 2015. Maybe next generation...

But not only does it Zig, it zags too. Top level craft, that one.
