I don't get what's the value of it not being enabled by default what does the toggle get us, really? Maybe I don't understand web design and it makes it harder to read for some, I am dyslexic and never had any issues.

It's just a way for us to add minutia and details that most don't care / need to know about. There are three audiences we try to make the posts accessible for: Rust people who don't know about GPUs, GPU people who don't know about Rust, and non-Rust non-GPU people. The toggle lets knowledgable readers go "wait, what about..." and hopefully the toggle answers it.

Does making it the default hurt anyone though? I don't think that 1 subscript adds anything to it..

Just distracting / ugly to my eyes.

Hey - this is probably off-topic/meta, but what is going on with the comments here? Is it bots?

No idea, but it seems HN needs POW challenges.

Could also just be trolls attracted by the Rust topic.

I bet some kid is bored out of his mind and wrote a bot.

We never mention anything about superiority nor compare with other languages or programming models. This post is about making existing Rust CPU code work on the GPU.

Those aren't lines you are reading. Those are your hallucinations.
At worst, the post reads like a propaganda for VectorWare, but, overall, it reads more like their insights on the matter.

Useless blabbering.
If you have real feedback, great, but it's useless to rip on the hard work of others without it.

I am rewriting some components in rust - I dont like such sentiment. It negatively impacts the community.
Rust is better in so many ways.

I'm not a Rust user apart from an occasional toy program here and there, but you seem really triggered about a language that other people use. What's the issue?

I care because it means I can use this in a Rust program without a FFI barrier. Regrettably, we have built computing infrastructure as a society with many barriers; programming language is one.

Rust is the best. No other language is fun enough to program.
