In the next months I'll provide you with a Hacker News replacement that I'll run myself and I'll guarantee personally: no benefit for whatsoever individual, a team of 10/20 persons since the start, from different time zones, clear rules, total transparency, and a "karma" system. I really want to fix HN and provide something that is not bound to a specific company.
FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀
Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety.
FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety.

@antirez They will probably remain in the shared memory of future engineers as evidence of skills that have now been lost and delegated to machines... a bit like how today we look at software written in assembly (skills delegated to compilers)
@julienbourdeau@brendt_gd It seems like you and the author of this article have never dealt with large projects that, for example, included hundreds of models all in the App namespace... Even PHPStorm struggles.
