> All the toys I've made to play with it during the last years went deprecated quickly In which sense? That dependencies evolved?

  Languages features, dependencies, etc. For instance one project: error[E0010]: allocations are not allowed in constants error[E0015]: calls in constants are limited to tuple structs and tuple variants Another: error: could not find native static library `brotli`, perhaps an -L flag is missing? error: aborting due to previous error error: Could not compile `brotli-sys`. And I'm not talking what happens if you don't fix versions in Cargo.toml.

    Allocations were never allowed in constants, so I find that first one quite confusing. Any chance you can share the code? And the second one is because a system library is missing. You're saying you have it installed, and it used to build, but does no longer?
    • hbbio 8y ago
      For first one: const characters: Vec<char> = vec!['7', '+', '-', '*', '/', '^', '0']; For the second, I do have brotli installed (via brew) and I have no idea why it can't find it now. It used to build. Note that I don't use brotli directly but it comes as one of the 274 dependencies (!) of that code. npm again...

        Thanks, this is very helpful. Do you know when the first one ever compiled? I tried it on Rust 1.0, and on every version from 1.20-1.30, and it always failed. Ah, bummer. I haven't used the brotli lib, but that is unfortunate.
