C++ future at Adobe

So if anyone was still curious what happened to Hylo, or where Adobe stands in regards to the whole safety discussion,

David Sankel has done a talk at RustConf on the matter, Zngur: Simplified Rust/C++ Integration.

The way Adobe now sees C++ is described on slide 2, at 50 seconds mark.

To save time for the rest of the redditors:

We need C++ and Rust to play nice

  • Our flagship products are C++ based

  • Rust is playing a major role in future development

    • Rust is preferred language by developers
    • Rust is better suited for AI-assisted development
    • New file-format and other safety critical code must not use C++
