Also even if you aim for DX it is very subjective which causes fragmentation, which causes abandonment and other issues, as mentioned in my comment.
This is a job sir, if it's painful that's to be expected ( and probably unavoidable too, in 30 years the new generation will hate your "smooth" DX)
Sure reuse where possible, but sometimes you need to rewrite.
> which causes abandonment and other issues, as mentioned in my comment.
Did Linux being written in C stop Intel from abandoning it? The abandonment issues mentioned are mostly orthogonal.
C stopping retreat of corporations from the open source space, is about as likely as a paper mache figure will have an effect on the Dark matter distribution. You are suggesting picking prog. languages will have an effect on global economics.
C being unpopular and thus not picked for development is more due to it being a very footgunny language, without modern programming language conveniences. Like package management or linters available out of the box.
That's both an obscure and a complicated OS/Arch combination.
>Intel abandoned Linux
I don't understand, Intel never maintained Linux.
>C being unpopular
Lol
Ok. A more realistic example. I want to develop a Windows game, because that's where the audience is. And I want to develop my game in Rust, because I know it better than C++.
So, I need a tar/zar/mar library that exists on Linux as a C lib or Rust native library. My goal is to finish the game but don't care about performance or even CVEs that much.
> Intel never maintained Linux
They definitely did maintain several drivers, and Clear Linux Distribution.
But I was talking about their overall strategy. They are pivoting to "Intel first" mantra, sacking many Linux driver maintainers.

What niche is it popular now that hasn't been devoured by C++, Java and others?
