Agreed - such useless pageantry. At least with meat, 'grilling' changes it.

Better title: "Farewell, Rust for Web"

Yes. This is one of the things that drives me nuts about a lot of titles on here: the context like “for the web” changes how it’s is interpreted a great deal. I see the same thing when I see posts about other languages and AI and such. Context matters versus making it sound like a broad, general statement. Alas, the broad, general statements likely get more engagement..

Farewell, Rust for Web was a worse title. I thought it meant Rust ended WebAssembly support.

Agreed! The context matters a lot. Rust is a great language, but using it for the web is a poor choice just like using JS outside the web is a poor choice. Programming languages all have domains where they do well or poorly, and trying to make a single language work for all cases is a fool's errand.

Yeah Astro is a great choice for a static or mostly static website. Moving to Astro is not a slight on any other language or framework.

Aiui they are also migrating their backend api(s) from rust to node. They were already using astro with rust on the backend (after dropping ssr with tera).

Ok, we'll use that above. Thanks!

Hence their threat to block the platform in the UK

Yes, and that is all of their leverage on US companies. They don't need US courts or any US cooperation for that. 4chan doesn't care, so they don't care about the £20,000 fine that Ofcom imposed on them. We will likely find out how much X cares soon.

Pangolin, Olm, Newt, Gerbil.. I haven't seen that level of animal dedication since the Apple big cats era. Cool tools, though, keep it up!

The bigger players probably avoid it because it's a bigger legal liability: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47025864

..plenty of money to be made elsewhere

Nice solution. Reminds me of https://semantic-ui.com/ and https://fomantic-ui.com/

Yes, I think we can merge the threads thither. I'll put the current link in the top text of the other post.

Is it just meant for software or also IoT use cases, like https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena ?

You can use it for IoT use cases for sure. Although our software is compatible with Windows, it does not explicitly perform operating system management or the tasks that you typically need to handle in an IoT environment.
