cffi replaces ctypes, which is a completely different thing. cpyext is a reimplementation of the Python C-API, so no attempt at improving the API. HPy on CPython uses the existing C-API under the hood, so there is zero need to build up some

Well, Erlang has been picking up :) - OTP27 added sigils[0], which allow you write UTF8 strings with just an additional tilde character ~"hallöchen" =:= <<"hallöchen"/utf8>> - Also, since OTP27,

On Gentoo, definitely. I really don't want to rebuild my whole system whenever some foundational library fixes a bug. It already annoys me quite a bit that I need to set up sccache to get half-way reasonable compile times out of Rust p

1Il (one, upper case i, lower case L) all seem to look alike in this font. For me, that disqualifies it as a coding font.

For me it has been running with minor issues and very few crashes for the last month as my daily driver on both my work (Fedora) and my private (Gentoo) laptop.

Mono has support for app domains (and is in general closer to .NET Framework), a more powerful C API and runs on more architectures.

Where does it say that K-cars are not allowed on highways? I'm certain that I saw quite a few, and I can find no source that says otherwise.

The dev did not "forget a single punctuation mark". It was there and it was correct. What was /not/ correct is that he did not implement any form of implicit resource freeing in an RAII-language. Doing resource managemen

The ? is not really the issue here. Rust is similar to C++ in that it encourages implicit resource management using scopes, so if you have resources that have to be free'd, you have to implement Drop somewhere. The code would have look

I have no idea what you are getting at. I just stated that you alloc/realloc what you require for your type. If you want to over-allocate, do it. But I don't see the need to know the size of the memory block that fulfilled your re

The growable array type would use `realloc` when growing, which can make use of this internal information without exposing it.

If webOS came out with WASM already in place, it would have been even better :) When the Touchpad was firesaled, I got one and was disappointed with the PDF viewer. Because there was no such thing as WASM (or even asm.js) at the time, it us

The build scripts of OpenSSH are irrelevant. The malicious code is embedded on building an rpm or deb for liblzma itself and becomes active when the dynamic library is loaded. There is a recent PR for systemd that instead of linking to the

As an aside: The particular technique used in the OP (resource objects) is actually not transparent. If you send the object handle to another machine, it will have an opaque handle that it can't do anything with apart from storing and

It's still to a large degree Rust itself. It's the language design which makes it possible to wrap the NIF C API in a safe fashion (e.g. using lifetimes, phantom data, etc.). The only additional safety feature we use is catch_unwi

`unwrap_or` and `expect` work exactly like they do in Rust. The naming of `expect` works nicely if the argument is the precondition that failed (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/error/index.html#common-messag... )

Invalid is derived from Latin with validus meaning "strong" or "in order". The German and Dutch uses of the word are derived directly from invalidus meaning ~"weak" (maybe via French), while the English word (a

FFI+cffi has the advantage that you leave Python specifics out of your Rust binding, so it's effectively a proper C binding that can be used for other FFI integrations as well.
