"It depends", as always :) Some people may do it because it's more approachable to them (and/or others). Others may have language models/runtimes that align closely with the target language. Or they may want to &quo

That answer is from 5.5 years ago. Rust was barely 1.0 then. A lot has changed in 5.5 years. See my godbolt link in the other reply for verification that it does optimize the moves away. Besides LLVM improvements, I suspect the moves might

I'm sorry, I didn't qualify my statement well. I did mean in release situations when optimizations are enabled. But I'm not sure whether such optimizations are appropriate in debug builds. I suspect there may be cases where t

Typestates are an excellent way to provide stronger compile time guarantees, and I wish I saw them more in the wild (I have used them myself when appropriate, though I was unaware of the terminology). However, the article mentions: The atte

This looks very lean (in a good way). Naturally he's only demoing what works well but there really is a lot here!

by afranchuk 5y ago
Yeah I've always wished for something like that. That also gives (presumably) a much stronger programmatic association between windows (GUIs) and processes. Trying to programmatically figure those things out in e.g. X11 is sloppy at be

I was under the impression that rust-analyzer (and more generally LSP) provides augmentative (contextual) syntax highlighting, whereas most of the highlighting still comes from editor-specific configuration. Is this not the case? If so I wo

I use these from Gboard all the time. If you're using Android it's my go-to keyboard, allowing you to resize and shift the keyboard to where it's comfortable for your hand (among other features).

Well, I haven't paid yet ;) but the adjusted amount charged to my insurance was about $12.5k. I have a highish deductible plan but I have an HSA so after meeting deductible and maxing out my out of pocket limit the HSA is going to cove

Anecdata: I just had a very mild infection a month ago, but it went to my heart so I went to the ER (thinking they'd give me antibiotics and send me on my way). They wanted to monitor me for 2 days so admitted me. I know I have the rig

Unfortunately no, and it was about 10 years ago so I don't remember the details. But there's not too much prep involved, just get some beans and get cooking! :D

I did this once as I like to understand the processes that go into modern everyday items. Without a grinding mill I wasn't able to get the cacao to the smoothest consistency (it was grainy as the article describes), however it still ca

The subtlety is that the checkout command as written is checking out only a subdirectory, not the entire repository. Look closely at the given checkout url.

Ah yeah numeric sort of variants totally make sense for that! In all of my use cases they have been types that don't have operations defined among each other. But really I'd just appreciate the standard library providing at least

Thanks for posting the link, I forgot to include it!

by afranchuk 5y ago
This is sometimes evident in the standard library. I think they chose just about the most developer-unfriendly interface for `std::visit` of variants. Yes that interface covers some edge cases that I've _never_ seen in practice (visiti

Based on the demo video, it looks like one step "missing" is that you don't manually implement the assembler in machine code. For those of you who have played: is this true? If so I totally get the omission, but I'm just

I think it's safe to spread that distribution as if it were throughout new England and the Midwest. Those states have just reported/recorded the information more. As someone who recently purchased a home in one of those states, I

I didn't say Rust is the only language. The preceding parenthetical immediately includes other modern languages as well. I was asking you to see a different perspective. I can't say I've seen the evangelism you've seen;

Have you considered that many PL hobbyists and/or enthusiasts recognize that many features of Rust (or other languages that may be brought up out of context, though in this case Rust is appropriate given the article content) were caref

by afranchuk 5y ago
Yeah tbh I don't know why syntax commenting isn't more common; when I wrote a language with s-exprs one of the earliest things I did was add a comment form to comment out an expression. And _especially_ in s-exprs it's almost

This looks like it does what it sets out to do well. I think commits and changelogs serve separate purposes, but I have gone to commit some changes and wanted to at least see the text from the changelog enough times that I wrote a prepare

Yeah, and besides the focus on error messages in past years, concepts will naturally allow template errors to be a _lot_ clearer, since they can serve as the specification of templated type requirements.

Yeah as sfink said (and I should have clarified and used different vocabulary), this was "native" performance for most typical tasks like programming, it wasn't a gaming setup. Though there was still hardware accelerated grap

FWIW, I got native windows performance on a Linux host just using virtualbox and (the key part) a virtual disk file that I manually edited to point directly to a windows partition on disk. This made it obvious that file IO was the bottlenec

It's not clear to me how an implicit await could be implemented; a counterexample that immediately comes to mind is any of the FutureExt combinators in the futures crate. The await keyword indicates the point at which something is don

I had the same reaction. It reads a bit like the UI engineers didn't have enough to do and stared at it until they found things to change. For instance, having the tab visually disconnected to cue that you can rearrange it is fine... b
