The UX of using Rust is far better than that of C++, but to take C++’s place, it has to become some kind of "AI language".

[image] Vorpal: AI is just pretty bad. Then I assume that you are working in an area for which very few up-to-date training data exits. For example for the Xilem GUI or the latest Bevy versions, my experience with AI was not that great. Because Bevy changes drastically from version to version…

Isn't that the common case unless you are working with Web, react and tailwind? (I think those are the names? I honestly really have no clue about modern web dev.) Most things for my dayjob will be almost entirely internally written code in the whole stack above the OS, and I expect the same is true…

I've had pretty mediocre at best experience even with the just released Claude Opus 4.6 in the copilot CLI (because the WebStorm plug-in is spectacularly useless past the auto complete) in the "think hard" mode, with bog standard typescript react code. Asking it to convert the repo off the obsolete…

[image] Vorpal: Are you really anthropomorphizing an LLM? Yes. In the same way I, and many others, have been anthropomorphizing computers and software for decades. Especially when they don't do what we want and we start cussing at them. Or the same way many anthropomorphize cars and many oth…

[image] simonbuchan: Do you mean it spat back the wgpu hello_triangle example to you? No. If that is what I wanted I could have cut and pasted it for myself. I have already looked at those WGPU examples and a good part of "Learn Wgpu". What I wanted was to be able to use WGPU on embedded Linu…

Sounds like I'm not understanding what you're actually trying to do, because that all sounds like at most needing to hand in an external raw device handle (though I'd probably provide a patch to wgpu to do it automatically based on available extensions) and maybe a memcpy between staging buffers? (t…

[image] simonbuchan: Sounds like I'm not understanding what you're actually trying to do... The requirements are at the top of the README.md here: GitHub - ZiCog/rust_embedded_wgpu: Example WebGPU "Hello triangle" running on headless (No X11 or such) Jetson or Raspberry Pi. [image] simonb…

Looks like the DRM integration is already out-of-box supported by wgpu, the rest is hello world for the drm crate (maybe a bit uglier than it should be eyeballing it, but heck I dunno?) CPU fallback is kinda painful looking, but I'd need to actually play with the hardware to figure out why it's eve…

[image] zavora: Rust is the future and you better learn how to vibe code rust now! See, the main issue with AI-written code (besides the fact that it's often very convoluted or just plain wrong, and that it sucks the fun out of development) is that it takes away code familiarity. If AI writes…

[image] ajmull: Looking at a piece of vibe-code, trying to debug it, is like looking at someone else's work - foreign, unknown, and you don't know where to start. It's a brand new code that already, from the day one looks like legacy-I-have-no-idea-hot-to-fix-it code. I can understand why on…
