From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would you even compare Go with R though?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Because R would be weird for this use case hence Go being better for it

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But why bring it up at all? Nobody said anything about R so why make that comparison?

Why dismiss all languages that aren’t rust?

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

R and rust are two completely different languages...

You didn’t seem to understand my question

Dismissing all but Rust is a joke

Saying Go is better than R at things R isn’t used for is a joke because it’s obvious and someone doing this in R would just draw the question of why even though they could

My apologies then, I thought you were shortening rust to R by mistake
