I built a compiler that just threw out LLVM IR to stdout. Pretty great way to get something working, if you ask me, and lots of potential to do FFI or other kinds of integration. LLVM takes care of lots of portability issues, and optimizes

C++ smart pointers won't prevent you from making the mistake that the OP was about: giving out a reference to an interior object without limiting the lifetime for that reference. I meant dependency tracking in terms of which libraries

To call Rust's approach "manual memory management", for me at least, feels just wrong. That phrase evokes the idea of C and C++, where you carefully have to do a lot of work and keep close track of your memory management stra

Sorry, my post maybe came off as more negative than I intended, but the downvotes seem a bit harsh. To me, in the WebASM world, transpiling to JavaScript is starting to seem a little old-fashioned. Readable JavaScript is not as important as

Well, Rust can compile to asm.js or wasm, too. Might still be rough around the edges, but it will improve soon enough.

It seems likely to me that Rust is your better C++. I'm also quite positive that there is (more than) enough oxygen for Rust to succeed. As for D, I think it has numerous other issues, that don't apply to Rust.

I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "integrate with all sorts of command line utilities", but based on the other things you write I could not think of a better language than Rust. Since I started to write some Rust

As a maintainer, I understand that this must have been frustrating for you. On the other hand: the maintainer will have to maintain the changes you've contributed ~forever. Effectively, the contribution you're making, something th

I don't think it has ever marked any legit mail as spam. The rspamd web UI has an overview of recent history which has the date/time, message ID and score, but there are no full headers/content for things that qualify as outr

rspamd has three levels of handling, depending on the spam score: (1) ham, which gets passed through, (2) spam, which does not, and (3) "not sure", which gets passed through but gets headers attached with the spam score and how th

Yeah, I have postsrsd set up now, although I only set it up after setting up rspamd. I'm not sure why it would improve things without also setting up a spam filter? In that case, you're just lowering the reputation of your own ser

I had similar problems. On top of that, I forward my email through my own server to GMail (so I control the domain, but can use the GMail ecosystem as UX), and this was posing problems because GMail would greylist my server quite a bit for

I think the borrow checker is actually pretty mind-blowing. In general, I'd say that the combination of modern language features with a real systems target (i.e. low-level, no GC) certainly has the potential to be game changing, in the
