Do note that when rolling out features like these, they geoblock them, even on a per run basis, so it might be happening a lot throughout the world but it just hasn't reached your country. For an example, mobile YouTube in the US lets

Would you mind filing a ticket on GitHub.com/rust-lang/rust with that exact request? (I'm on the go and am not logged on GitHub on this device and wouldn't want this feedback to be lost). This should be relatively easy t

This has problems as soon as it hits generics and lifetimes. That being said, I think a limited version of the feature that disallows the the same type with divergent lifetimes or even all generics would still be useful and well liked.

Fun fact: the compiler itself has some limited inference abilities for return types, they are just not exposed to the language: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&editi... I have some desire to m

It depends on what you call "performance". IO throughput can be the same. So can be CPU utilization. Memory consumption will always be larger though, and the kind of code you need to write in Java to achieve parity might not look

This is a pattern a crate author can rely on (write a function that uses genetics that immediately delegates to a function that uses trait objects or converts to the needed types eagerly so the common logic gets compiled only once), and the

For loops are sugar around an Iterator instantiation: for i in 0..10 {} translates to roughly let mut iter = Range { start: 0, end: 10 }.into_iter(); while let Some(i) = iter.next() {}

You are making the baseline assumption that the reason for reusable bags is to reduce greenhouse emissions , instead of reducing the number of plastic bags being discarded in public areas causing negative externalities like affecting wildl

There are multiple avenues to improve both first and incremental compiles. They "just" require large architectural changes that may yield marginal improvements, so it's hard to get those projects off the ground. But after the

There's a strong culture of "leave things better than you found them". When a user gets confused by the tooling/language, it's not the user's fault. If you got confused, chances are that others will too, so fix

Whether a joke is funny to a given person is context dependent. “A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’” Is this a good joke? Do you find it funny? If not, do you happen to be a Summerian circa 1983 BCE

Hot take: the primary role of a compiler is to turn malformed code into human readable diagnostics. They are error reporting tools with a codegen is side-gig.

When maintaining a project, one gets exposed to the worst parts of it at an elevated rate. This makes maintainers be more critical than most, as we have an skewed view of the projects faults. So I can absolutely understand when someone cl

This is an approach that I really like because of some not necessarily obvious properties: the behavior of the code as written is easily predictable, while still getting the benefits of a compiler's help. The suggestions can be more ag

When an error happens it's the best time to teach the user something. If you can figure it what they were trying to do something, you can tell them why what they tried to do doesn't work, and what to try instead.
