Lifetimes are an interesting illustration. They are conceptually surprisingly simple (they draw regions in time and check if one region is clearly smaller than another), but as a language feature very weird, as they are essentially a declar

(For context: I teach Rust since 2015) Rust is "simple" in that it is based on a few solid principles. Data with layout, Ownership of the data and the distinction between sharing and mutability (through immutable references and mu

Well, this is always a tradeoff: the cost of being away from the mainstream may outweigh familiarity with a programming language at some point. I'm not sure if the argument for "HTML+JS+CSS" is purely familiarity, there'

The biggest problem here is that in Android, Java "owns" the app, so you will have to invert a lot of lines to make "develop a whole app in Rust" feel awesome. But, TBH, I think Kotlin and Java are _indeed_ fine applicat

It may be a factor, but it is no the root and the concept is not privacy, though. The root is the 1983 supreme court decision around informational self-determination. The right has constitutional rank. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

I think this is mostly laziness - they just say "yes" to everything, without checking if it actually happens. They also share: > thermal, olfactory, or similar information such as, CCTV footage, photographs, and call recordings

That's a really shitty comment. The author is a long term Rust contributor and has spent their time before on C-land a lot. Yes, he knows how a linker works. Others don't. He took his time to write down something, because some beg

To my knowledge, IntelliJ has a base framework for handling many languages build towards an internal protocol.

The best way to install it is by installing the VSCode plugin, it will download the binary for you. rustup may arrive in the future and make things better for other plugins.

Not you fault, thanks for asking :).

The latter. rust-analyzer implements the language server protocol like RLS. RLS was implemented using the compiler as a library, which meant it inherited the compilation model of the compiler, which isn't really well-suited for IDEs. T

I can definitely say that having carved out a space where rust-analyzer is a job for matklad and some of the contributors boosts such things. (I'm managing the open collective and I'm so happy for all the support, in money or just

Could you please file a bug at github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer, describing your current situation and an outline of your project structure. Installing and running should be as easy as activating the plugin, or at least the

The web is also well-known for implementation before specification and often specifying vendor-specific extensions because of widespread adoption. A specification is a touchstone, yes, but also a substantial effort. The Rust language is als

There's still tons of love for Ada at all the places where we spoke to. Rust, Swift, Nim, Zig and other languages are the driver of a current resurgence of debates around the embedded toolstack, though, which Rust leading the pack by h

As someone who lead a lot of the talks hinted at in the blog post: it translates to where it counts. I also see your devaluing of effective use of marketing and some peoples background on the internet. Memes like "InternetOfShit"

I partially agree. I _do_ actually think that you have a certain obligations to your users. For Rust, my personal mantra was always that _usage is contribution_. Why? Because we have a high interest in adoption. It's literally one of o

The main license problem that Debian had was the _license of the logo_. This flaw is remedied. (and Rust hasn't made that mistake) There was no change of guard, just a very long discussion on how you can make some of the stars align: M

One of the control motivations here is that rustc and cargo have _explicit_ interface stability guarantees. Imagine a vendor shipping rustc and cargo + 20 subcommands that are not behind the -Z flag. People may start relying on them and be
