Quite, but I generally use as a way to gauge "language innovation" relevance. It looks like the lag time on getting into innovative programming principles into production languages is ~5 years. The discussion is quite interesting in laying out some of the practical issues with introducing PL research concepts into code that must support large products and large developer bases.
- steveklabnik 14y agoYeah, seems good. I was just excited for a new discussion, then saw that it was from a while back, and given how much Rust has changed in the meantime, wanted to make sure others didn't think it was new.
- mcguire 14y agoIf you see mention of "typestate" in Rust, the discussion is probably so far out of date as to be useless in learning Rust as it is now.
