Very happy about the speed and privacy improvements. I'm excited to install this.

Yes, this is just a simplification of the real problem I was solving: docs.rs/restartables

Rust 1.51 stabilized a lot of const generics use-cases, but there are still some advanced parts which are only on Nightly. For example, doing math with const generics, like an array [String; WIDTH * HEIGHT], still requires nightly.

This is, literally, the exact same reason I use const generics. I was so excited when I started using them on Rust beta and could shave off some allocations!

Unfortunately I can't answer because I never learned C++. By the time my career required me to learn a low-level systems language, Rust was available, so I didn't have any need for C++.

Last night I was writing a blog post about how to use const generics. I included instructions on installing Rust Beta, and setting your directory to use the Beta compiler instead of Stable. I started to write a disclaimer like "By the

Wow, awesome code. I really respect the 2000 line match, it's a really neat abstraction. Keep some state, have an exhaustive list of everything users can do, and define exactly how each possible user action can change that state. Beaut

My job isn't to write a program that shares objects between threads. My job is to write a program that responds to web requests or stores user data or responds to queries or checks the state of certain services. In some languages and f

This is pretty overblown. I write async rust every day for my job, just fine, with no real problems. Probably because I'm consuming other libraries, I'm not trying to write my own. I use well-tested libraries like Actix-Web or occ

You can't abstract over it in the same way that you can in Haskell, because you have to manage ownership. You can't abstract away ownership as easily, because the language is designed to make you care about ownership. I write Rust

Wow, higher-kinded data. I've never heard of that, but it would absolutely be useful. E.g. for converting JSON inputs, where any field might be missing, into a version of the data which definitely has values for all the fields. Or a ve

How do you "own" something that everyone else can consume and replicate? Owning a physical item implies a degree of control over it. Owning a public digital item doesn't seem to grant any kind of control. I feel like this is

ripgrep's src/ contain both library code and unit tests. The grep source code appears to use different tests/ and src/ directories. ripgre's source code files appear to be between 1/3 and 1/2 unit tests, i

Perhaps the developers had a success metric other than LOC.

Yes, this was my immediate thought too. I love writing Haskell, but Rust has become my daily driver, both at work (Cloudflare) and personal projects. It gives me the excellent type system, better domain modelling, great ecosystem (serde, ac

At a general level, you may work with users, and it's important to not have fallacious thinking about users, e.g. "if I can dispel belief X their behaviour will change to Y". Instead, Talib would bet their behaviour will stil

We use it for many projects at Cloudflare. My team, Argo Tunnels, uses it for our backend and our end-to-end monitoring/healthchecks.

It's a little thing, but one of my favourite parts of any Rust release is seeing which stdlib functions become `const`. The ergonomics of build-time evaluation are slowly improving, and I'm very excited to slowly do less at runtim

Postgres has great docs. It's one of the big reasons I love it so much. Very comprehensive, although I usually skip straight to the examples.

At my job we use Actix Web for a server deployed in prod. We never use Nightly, I don't think Actix Web depends on any nightly features. All stable :)

I think the docs are much better than they used to be. Just my personal experience, but I found Actix Web very easy to get started with for my job. There's also a Gitter chat room where people are pretty responsive.

Congratulations to the team. I've been working on an actix-web service for my job for ~6 months now, and it's generally been very pleasant. I'm really excited at how well the transition from a single maintainer to a community

Restarting your tunnel should fix it. We're slowly triggering a graceful restart of all tunnels, but if you restart yours, you'll get fixed faster.

I wonder if the pricing will drop once AMD releases their ray-tracing PC GPUs.
