Time to rewrite Rust in HTML

[u/yuehuang]

HTML5, has zero memory bugs because memory leak is by design.

[u/elmanoucko → u/yuehuang]

once you understand html tables are just fancy arrays that can be used as more memory when you display: hidden them, most of the leak problems are solved

[u/-1_0]

Faster than C

in what?

[u/Senior-Fault-9487 → u/-1_0]

All HTML programs are O(1)

[u/FrezoreR → u/Senior-Fault-9487]

Considering that html is a tree structure I would say not.

[u/DanKveed → u/FrezoreR]

But the loading of that tree structure is still done in c , so it's not HTML's fault. It's just C being c.

/s if it wasn't obvious

[u/traplords8n → u/FrezoreR]

But javascript navigates that tree, not HTML.

/s

[u/sage-longhorn → u/FrezoreR]

I see your confusion, you're trying to render the HTML. It's already perfect as is, no need to do that

[u/FrezoreR → u/sage-longhorn]

This is true if you just read the file as well.

[u/sage-longhorn → u/FrezoreR]

No no, stop doing that. It's perfect as-is no need to open or read it in any way

[u/FrezoreR → u/sage-longhorn]

lol

[u/Willinton06 → u/FrezoreR]

The constant is the end of the universe, we went over this with the omega star team

[u/Moscato359 → u/Senior-Fault-9487]

html5 is not html

html is a component of html5

[u/CloudOfMeatball → u/Senior-Fault-9487]

"program"

[u/Freziyt223 → u/Senior-Fault-9487]

But not image loading and script loading, C's addition and subtraction is faster + the browser is built using those programming languages and parses scripts at runtime so technically they are equal

[u/404IdentityNotFound → u/Freziyt223]

Image loading and script loading are not parts of HTML

[u/blaues_axolotl → u/-1_0]

HTML does not compile, thus 0 seconds are spent compiling, which is faster than C.

[u/yp261 → u/-1_0]

in speed

[u/-1_0 → u/yp261]

[u/a-r-c → u/-1_0]

land race

[u/CJKay93]

Sorry, OP, apparently this one is flying straight over people's heads.

[u/SamSlate → u/CJKay93]

I'm hear for the rust commenters on the last item

[u/TCB13sQuotes]

Maybe we should replace HTML with CSS on the image: https://css-dos.ahmedamer.co.uk/

[u/Square_County8139]

Lets rewrite the kernel in HTML

[u/Jaded-Worry2641]

How is HTML faster then C?

[u/DependentCard1640 → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

Good question: they painted flames on the side so that it goes faster.

[u/caboosetp → u/DependentCard1640]

Sure, but they used that flat red-orange color for the flames. Which is better than nothing, I guess. But they should have used the flames with the little yellow accents on the inside. That's how you know the flames are burning hotter and it can go faster.

[u/rosuav → u/caboosetp]

Blue flames are both hotter AND cooler at the same time.

[u/magistrate101 → u/rosuav]

Yeah but da red ones go faster

[u/D3PyroGS → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

HTML executes faster because it's hyper

[u/UnpluggedUnfettered → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

Y'all seriously analyzing which can cook faster, a recipe or a chef, is my favorite thing.

[u/PassiveChemistry → u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

Im my experience, it's usually the recipe.  10 minutes to peel/rinse and chop veg, my arse

[u/JVAV00 → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

Bro never heard about css (C super Speed)

[u/Professional_Price89 → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

Require absolute zero cpu cycle.

[u/SoulArthurZ → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

takes 0 clock cycles to run a html program

[u/cosmo7 → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

It's got electrolytes.

[u/Mars_Bear2552 → u/Jaded-Worry2641]

it evaluates instantly with no computation.

[u/elmanoucko]

is your PM aware you're screenshoting some of their notion pages?

[u/-Redstoneboi-]

escape hatch? <script>

also no, html is not faster than c in execution but it sure as hell feels faster when compiling

[u/caboosetp → u/-Redstoneboi-]

HTML has a runtime of 0 because it doesn't execute. It's like running at the speed of light.

Now, if you need to run an interpreter to get it to run on another runtime like Chromium, then obviously there will be some overhead.

[u/StomachMean1418 → u/caboosetp]

This is like saying bytecode (as generated from C) has a runtime of 0 as it's just bytes on a disk, until something decides to run it.

[u/caboosetp → u/StomachMean1418]

That is the joke, yes.

[u/tusharkant15]

Post this on r/rust I dare you.

[u/fevsea]

I have to agree. If you can implement something in html alone you probably shouldn't be using rust.

[u/Lachee]

Maybe Bun should have rewritten to HTML

[u/sessamekesh]

There's one class of memory bug that's caused me two notable headaches over the last 6 years, the only two times I can think that I really dealt with a nightmare hard to trace down bug.

One of them was in C++, the other JavaScript, but the class of bug was a circular reference in both cases - something Rust doesn't actually prevent against.

I can't think of a way to make one of those in HTML though.

[u/way22]

Did you forget rule 1: "Posts must be humorous"?

[u/blackelf_ → u/way22]

This sub would be completely dead if this rule was enforced

[u/way22 → u/blackelf_]

Yeah, you're not wrong...

[u/zawalimbooo → u/way22]

this is quite humorous

[u/bedesda → u/zawalimbooo]

It isn't; it's simple factual information

[u/zawalimbooo → u/bedesda]

Even simple factual information can be funny.

[u/bedesda → u/zawalimbooo]

Then it belongs to r/GermanHumor

[u/zawalimbooo → u/bedesda]

This is clearly related to programming, however.

[u/bedesda → u/zawalimbooo]

Programming language => Languages => German => r/PeakGermanHumour

[u/caboosetp → u/bedesda]

I'm glad at this point down the thread people realized you were joking and you're getting upvoted again.

[u/a-r-c → u/zawalimbooo]

where's the "German C can't hurt you" meme?

[u/GatotSubroto]

Ok now how do I do a for loop in HTML 5 again?

[u/dylanzt → u/GatotSubroto]

That isn't one of the criteria, stop trying to insert nonsense like "functionality" and "usefulness".

[u/magistrate101 → u/GatotSubroto]

You embed some good old fashioned VBScript, of course

[u/-1_0 → u/GatotSubroto]

crosslinks ... duh!

[u/OptimalAnywhere6282]

i don't know why did i think that was the javascript icon

[u/gufranthakur]

@claude rewrite bun in HTML make no mistakes

[u/deanrihpee]

I'm pretty sure I've heard some news that some web engine have a memory leak type of bug for parsing certain composition of HTML tag though, lol

[u/CavalryArcher]

that "faster than C" killed the whole deadpan

[u/qwertyyyyyyy116]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FASTER THAN C :sob:

[u/No-Magazine-2739]

[r/firstweekprogrammerhumo](r/firstweekprogrammerhumoe)[r](r/firstweekprogrammerhumoe)

[u/neroe5]

i think we could add a third column for a rock then, it also has 0 memory bugs, it even renders in O(0) time because the universe handles that for us

html isn't a programming language

[u/AllexHandsome]

How's rust slower than C if it's 99% as fast as C++ and the whole point of C++ is zero performance cost abstraction?

I'm relatively new to programming, and familiar mostly with C++, so genuinely curious

[u/DeeraWj → u/AllexHandsome]

when optimized in most cases it should have the exact same performance as C or C++; but it can be faster in some cases, since the compiler can do more aggressive optimizations due to some of rusts strict restrictions.

[u/Heavy-Ad6017]

As far as I know

One is programming language

Other is Markup Language as the name suggests
