I don't consider myself a Rust expert, but this feels like a semantic argument? You can use `unsafe` to erase lifetimes, right? I'm not saying it's a good practice, and it's not globally disabling the borrow checker or a

There’s a character in the Aubrey-Maturin series who uses this construction often. I always wondered if it was an idiosyncrasy, a regionalism, or an archaic usage. Guess this answers it!

I agree that it's probably impossible to write something that is orders of magnitude faster than LLVM and better than LLVM at optimizing, but I don't see that claim in the original text. It seems like a lot of work but also doab

The point is that the language has decided that some kinds of builtin operations can panic, in the interest of developer ergonomics. The alternative is that every indexing operation returns a Result, or you write 4 lines of code instead of

That's a cool idea. Would also be interesting to consider the size of the commit - a single 100-line change is probably more likely to introduce a bug than 10 10-line changes.
