Exactly what is your definition of "initiated mostly by" and why do you promote it as objective? It sure seems to me that Rust detractors see the word "Rust" and immediately spawn a flame war. You, of course, also seem awfully happy every time it happens.
You think this is reasonable? I have also seen strange people on twitter support Fil-C while claiming that Rust is a language for [slur]s. I suppose by your "reasoning" that these people directly represent you and your project?
Fjall is an LSM-based key-value store written in Rust. It is pretty similar to RocksDB.
I do wish to note also that Marvin's blog posts are very informative and a great read. I would highly suggest reading them if you are at all interested in how Fjall or other LSM-based storage engines work.
I regularly enable YouTube subtitles. Almost always, they are a 100% verbatim transcription, excluding errors from auto-transcription. I am not annoyed in the slightest, and in fact I very much prefer that they are verbatim.
If you are too slow at reading subtitles, you can either slow down the video or train yourself to read faster. Or you can just disable the subtitles.

And what are deaf people supposed to do in a cinema, or with broadcast TV?
(And I'm ignoring other uses, e.g. learning a foreign language; for that, sometimes you want the exact words, sometimes the gist, but it's highly situational; but even once you've learned the language itself, regional accents even without vocabulary changes can be tough).

That's just plain tone deaf, plain and simple. I was not talking about myself, or just youtube. You are not everyone else, your use case is not everyone else their use case. It really isn't that difficult.
Software engineering is not just about building new things. I'd propose that by far the majority of the time of software engineers is spent on maintenance, bug fixing, minor incremental improvements, etc. Almost all software is either sold directly as a service or as a product with a servicing agreement.

Wrt. to the half-argument you pushed there, the paper that explains the architecture is already linked in this thread. It's a general purpose processor, the "simulated annealing" remark comes from someone who just borrowed that term from somewhere else without truly knowing what it means, as it is evident that it does not apply to this.
No idea about that "2nd law of thermodynamics" bs; "consumes less power" does not go against that.
Also, actual hardware was built and delivered to a very reputable group of scientists. Some of the smartest people I've met have worked at Sandia. I would be extremely, massively surprised, if this turned out to be scamware like a web3 startup or whatever.
@saagarjha, lmk. if you need more education on the topic.
Didn't the RIAA completely ruin their reputation (along with the other AAs) by doing that? Now it seems like most people just equate them with a huge pile of lawyers in suits who care not about art.
Here is you claiming "Facts" on a troll post claiming to "criticize" Rust: https://x.com/filpizlo/status/2081765923757903940
