I mean, https://www.libcinder.org and https://openframeworks.cc have been mainstays of the creative coding industry for a long time now. A Rust take on the problem shouldn't be too surprising.

Yep, the two missing features are `usize::MAX` (stabilized in Rust 1.43, April 2020), and control flow in const fns (stabilized in Rust 1.46, August 2020).

> she's the "perpetrator" and he gives consent If "he gives consent", then she isn't a perpetrator. By definition. If one of the parties gets drunk, they can't give consent. Again, by definition.

How come? Wasm is only at ~92% browser adoption right now (per https://caniuse.com/?search=wasm ), but certain classes of apps can easily take that 8% hit for all the benefits over the status quo languages that Rust brings.

I submitted a patch to support decimal commas when parsing timestamps in Go in 2013. I thought this was a slam dunk because while major users of decimal dots include USA, China, India, and Japan, the decimal comma is used by pretty much ev
