Strange: the changes in the C++ compiler were typically done to allow better standard libraries, and here is implied that it's hard for the libraries to use the language improvements as the Rust compiler gets better, and that they would otherwise use significantly less "unsafe" parts... I'd have to see some examples to be convinced.
- steveklabnik 10y agoI'm not implying that it's hard in a clean-room sense, I'm implying that changing things over time means you might end up with different code than if you did it clean-room today. The interfaces matter a lot more than the implementations; we spent a lot of focus on the actual interfaces, stabilized them, and internal improvements are always landing.
