Put another way, writing clean code is like writing prose. You need to clearly break down your thoughtt, whether its sections, paragraphs, sentences, and fragments, or files, functions, blocks, groups of lines. Drove me nuts when working in

What is with the modern C++ community treating "C/C++" as a shibboleth to gatekeep over? I'm a seasoned C++ dev (using it before C++98 was available, kept up with trends) and I've never seen this before until the la

To add, in rust 1.63, cargo added support for negative numbers, so you can say `cargo build --jobs -2` to leave two cores available. See https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#...

I'm interested in making REPL support for Rust first-class and am curious where people think evcxr lets you down in usability and any suggestions in overcoming them. Compiled languages offer unique challenges for REPLs and I feel like

Also git-stack has a --pull flag to rebase all local branches and --push to force-push-with-lease them. EDIT: oh, article author is git-branchless author, they know of git-stack.

A surprising source of slow compile times can be declarative macros in Rust [0]. I believe the core of the problem is that it has to reparse the code to pattern match for the macro. One egregious patter is tt-munchers [1] where your macro i

I appreciate when they work well as a general purpose language. I might need more control in a kernel. Userspace support code benefits from being in the same language and needs some systems programming features but doesn't need as much

Interesting ideas but I'm in the camp that having everything be explicit causes complexity to be foisted on the user. There are times and places where that simplicity might offer some advantages but I'd rather my systems language
