Can't run Godbolt on my phone for some reason, but in this case I expect compiler to ignore wrapper types and just pass Vec around. If you have Vec<i32> // newtype struct struct Data{ data: Vec<i32&gt

It's not a coincidence. Cancer means crab, because the earliest known physicians saw tumors and thought they looked like crabs.

I mean it doesn't seem to be a really well designed or effective influence campaign. If sowing division is the goal of KGB, they don't need to do anything. Americans are way better and have been way longer in that game. Honestly j

That just seems like an influence campaign. I expect every country to try to meddle in each other's politics, for their own gain. Also Tim Pool? Rubin? Those are small fries. Putin couldn't afford Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro?

Kibwen is saying that there was an idea to have `fn drop(&mut x)` from Drop trait become `fn drop_own(&own x)`. Then `&own` would do mutation and drop the owner of the reference. A regular &mut reference shouldn't do th

Ok, I should have been more specific. By ADT I meant sum types, or, to be even more exact, discriminated union. Everyone and their mother has product types. Java doesn't have a discriminated union for sure (and C# as of 8.0). It does h

Did it? Last time I checked, Scala 3 still has custom operators. The thing I'm making fun of is Scala's custom operator gibberish.
