minus-square TehPers ( @TehPers@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·3 months agoWeird cutoff on the title. This is the full sentence: Announce that Git 3.0 will make Rust a mandatory part of our build infrastructure. I’m interested to see how this goes. Maybe they could work with the gitoxide devs to see if there’s some work that’s already been done. Not really sure myself if Git needs to be RiiR, but that’s their call to make I guess.
minus-square flying_sheep ( @flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoWhy weird? This is the phrasing used for some patches in the change set, and it means the same thing as the long version.
minus-square SorteKanin ( @SorteKanin@feddit.dk ) linkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 months agoThe title makes it sound like writing Rust for git will be mandatory
minus-square TehPers ( @TehPers@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoThis, or a runtime dependency on rustc or something, was my initial impression as well. The link clarifies it pretty quickly though.
minus-square flying_sheep ( @flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoOnce components are written in Rust, working on them will of course, but sure, the “test balloon” itself doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against any of that, I just don’t get how this variant of the headline could be misleading
