Read some of his leaked internal emails and you'll change your mind. He's just a stuffed suit like the rest of them.

Toki also makes a superb highball. Keep a bottle in the freezer and canned unflavored seltzer in the fridge and it'll come out at the right temperature without ice. I do 2oz Toki to a 12oz can of soda water. It's great with or without a lemon twist.

Benchmarks mean nothing.

You're free to suggest another method of comparing the two languages' performance. This is the best we're have, and Rust wins in every single benchmark shown there.

These aren’t the results of code written by an average programmer.

Citation needed.

I like Rust and all but we do need to admit it doesn’t magically solve all our problems.

I never said it did. I simply pointed out that it's demonstrably faster than Swift.

This is completely incorrect. Their contract states that you can't sell Steam keys for less elsewhere, which is entirely fair in my opinion. If your game is on multiple platforms or storefronts, you can sell it for whatever price you want there. The fact is that nobody does; they list it for the same everywhere and pocket the difference if someone buys on EGS.

If it's "barely a problem in practice" why did you bother to mention it like it's an active performance issue?

This post is so full of inaccuracies that I don't know where to begin. I'll just mention the first thing I noticed: just because drivers are compiled with the kernel doesn't mean they're all loaded at runtime. modprobe exists for a reason.
