At $DAYJOB, we organically switched from not having any formal style to having an internal formal style. People seemed to want the benefits of tooling integration and clearer communication. Right now, we are switching SCM's and are lo

Personally, I feel like this style puts the focus on what rather than the why. I also dislike that it seems to be centered on multiple changes in one commit.

I feel mypy has been a big help in the correctness and approachability in my code I write. My big issue is that it is too easy for `Any` to (implicitly) show up, making it so parts of my code are (silently) not checked. I wish there was a g

For code-gen, I'm experimenting with checking in the results and having a "is the code-gen correct" check in the CI See https://github.com/crate-ci/imperative/pull/4 for an example I hadn'

We're talking use cases. In Rust, you'd use Result where in C++ you would use exceptions. Panic is equivalent to assert and should not be used where you'd use exceptions in other languages.

As someone who has had to deal with C++ in the Windows and Linux kernels for the last couple of years, the thing that excited me and drew me to Rust is the use of Result rather than exceptions. Exceptions are incompatible with environments

The borrow checker is what is being referred to and has no runtime overhead. Now, an environment without a GC will use ref counting sometimes but it will regardless of C, Rust, or C++

Some further background: vendor instrinsics are well documented and unchanging. They are a lot easier for a language to standardize on. As others have pointed out, there are higher level libraries being built on top of them. This gives t

Overall, very good. I might share this to help people out. Two pieces of feedback - What is classified as influence is not all or nothing. In my mind it is covering multiple distinct traits - The quote "At your company, it’s important

This is why I'm curious about algebraic effects which was recently discussed on /r/rust [0] The main challenges I see are around usability within the language design on how best to propagate and compose them. [0] https:&#x2F

From what I've gathered, the project grew faster than the original dev had time to build up other people to also monitor PRs and has since gotten very busy, slowing down the review process. I know I have several straightforward outsta

Does pipenv create cross-platform lock files? That has been my primary requirement when looking at solutions, more than the usability issue of Python using a bunch of tools and files for the whole development process without a coherent sto

I'm curious to see what direction they take this. Will they have a trusted compile farm, only supporting a subset of targets, or involve some kind of distributed trust model supporting whatever people use? Will it be greedily populate

I thought it was two factors (1) unoptimized IR and (2) large translation units (crate rather than file).

Cranelift is being created as an alternative to LLVM, targeting a different set of requirements. Last I heard talk about Rust using it, the thought is that it would fit in well for fast debug builds but not be a good fit for optimized rele

Thankfully everyone is reporting in safe from what I've seen on facebook (I grew up in the area). As mentioned elsewhere, my biggest concern is those evacuated from the hospital into 100 degree weather.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much. These earthquakes are far enough away that LA shouldn't be feeling too much and they should calm down soon. The likelihood of other earthquakes cropping up seems relatively low.

I grew up in Ridgecrest during the time it became known for earthquakes (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k8f2gJjXkQ&feature=share ). That commercial isn't far off in that it got to the point that we no longe

Some thoughts I've had along these lines (but for Rust) - Open issues in the review for compiler / lint / format errors - Gather coverage per test and use that to determine which tests are needed for a given change

Don't fully remember why I prefer json5 to hjson but at a quick glance, bare values is one. Bare values are ripe for someone entering in a string and accidentally getting a bool or number instead.

As a fan of TOML, I want to be clear on the downsides. TOML is good for data layed out with TOML. Representing arbitrary nested arrays and tables gets messy. Also, the constraint on homogenous shallow types has impacted me in some cases. Or

Agreed. I regularly ask "Why are we running a marathon in a thousand sprints?". Besides tech debt, a concern I have that I don't see brought up is burn out. With Scrum, every action you perform is micromanaged and with a pu
