Comment Re: Is Rust political? (Score 1) 78

Rust was built because the guidelines set by the then-CTO prevented using C++ correctly and led to most of the team misunderstanding C++ and looking for an alternative, which is essentially just codifying their bad C++ patterns as a language.

Many of the people from then are not involved anymore and Thinderbird is free to evolve independently as it sees fit now, so there is nothing preventing it from using proper C++.

The reality of the UK is that most public services are of poor quality, be it education or health care. Any middle-class family is aiming to not have to rely on the public system and use the private one instead.

What they're aiming to do is make the private system, which is already quite expensive, even less affordable, so that only the 1% can afford it. As for making the public services better, it seems the strategy is to make people have faith in it rather than actually invest resources to make it better.

Meanwhile even famous education institutions like Oxford and Cambridge which were propping up the UK on the international scene are failing due to bad government policies.
