could you elaborate on the "bad news" part? Is there something rust inherently can't do but c/c++ can?

- vineyardmike 5y agoYea, rust doesn't already exist. Rewriting a whole OS is an impossibly high ask.

- izacus 5y agoExist 20 years ago when the OS was written.
- Someone 5y agoEven ColorSync, which the top of this thread mentioned, is older than that. It was first released in 1993 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_macOS_components#ColorSync_Utility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_macOS_components#Color...) The work to remove all AT&T code from BSD started in 1989, so other parts of MacOS probably are over 30 years old, too. I don’t think anything of the original Mac OS remains, lots of it being written in 68k assembly and pascal.
