    I came across this article, this is a guy I know from some hacker events in Germany like CCC Congress etc
    This is a way for CPU's to handle low level programming with out having to translate to ASM etc... or so I think.

    Thank you for this article, it is very useful as every article Silvain writes.

    [...]

    To access these CPU features in other languages like C you may need to write assembly and as usual rust saves you from that.

    The mid-level C programmer just finds a suitable library.
    Rust's approach on the other hand is a nice example of a
    monolithic architecture and the feature bloat, which are
    rather the typical outcome of the most common incompetence.

    LOL The "better than you" rhetoric.

    Sometimes people just write a piece of software to prove themselves
    there was some ammount of understanding, to learn how things work or
    for the simple pleasure of exploration. It is not always i write good
    code for living or make it useful to someone else, nobody was born
    taught or just sit and write their own network stack themselves ready
    for production in one night (unless you have done it regularly).

    The library is not to prove competence, is a document of exploration
    something useful might come after that. Obviously it might not be
    useful to build something with it but it is just a document you write
    when exploring something.

    I guess there is people who was born taught and competent :D
