Indeed, these kinds of abbreviated notifications are a great way to implement realtime updates. The code is simpler and there's less chance of screwing something up. I've also seen this described as hints: https://blog.

Long ago, I used to develop on systems where my program was the only code running. For example DOS, or TI calculators. Hard rebooting or yanking out batteries was a regular part of the process. I’m not sure, but I wonder if Rust could have

It is an interesting thought experiment to imagine how things might have played out if Rust had kept green threads. I don't know if it would have changed the Rust vs Go story much. There'd still be the learning curve of the borrow

Everything's up to Incube8, although I'll be advising. In general, my recommendation is to consider better tooling for managing assets and running builds but be very careful with the code (e.g. don't change compiler versions,

Coming from C/C++, "enums with data" sound more interesting to me than "unions with a type", even though they describe the same thing. I used C/C++ enums far more often than unions, and often wished I could add
