1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's a good book even if you don't write C. I should give my copy a skim again. It's been a while.

 

I’ve been playing with Rust the last couple of days. It’s a whole new world.

 

I haven't used it or even looked at it before, but a quick read through the WikiPedia page and I see lots of the same language features and syntactic sugar that I've been excited to see come to C# over the past few years.

Disallowing null pointers by default is a mindset shift. I'm wholly in favor of it, but I'm still adjusting to the new mindset and patterns.

 

We’ve got a next gen embedded product to build soon, and right now it’s running some old embedded os on Motorola cold fire processors. Everything is C . I love c, but I want to find a better way, and rust feels like a good option. Hard to advocate for it though without getting to know it first.

 

You're just in time for https://adventofcode.com

 

Now that’s a good idea. Thanks!

 

I thought Toy axles were fairly strong for their weight though, at least on a lighter rig like a Samurai or first gen minitruck.

 

95.5%

 

They are strong, the issue is the parts are expensive and hard to find and the vendor support blows as they all keep consolidating. The other point I was making was axles should be the last place people should be trying to save weight on a trail rig, weight down low adds stability.

Yeahhhhh. The whole trail gear acquiring everyone is pretty annoying.

 

What's the hold up

 

Resi mounts

I ordered, just waiting for confirmation and shipping.

 

And marlin focusing on suspensions and arguing with everyone in the internet over them instead of fixing their supply chain that's been broken for 20+yrs is pretty annoying as well.
