Please reformat your comment so it's more readable. Adding 4 spaces in front of a line will make it monospace.

Yeah, that's something I always forget about when talking to people from the US: I don't have any student loans. A semester at a university in Germany costs around 250€ (plus housing and food), so it's hard to get to a point

Just a heads up: The numbers for Germany on that page include all social security contributions, including health insurance (4.7k€) and pension contributions (6k€). (Not sure if you accounted for these in your number for Maryland.)

Absolutely, yeah. Having a real linker will help with that as well. Until then, you can also compile with [profile.release] opt-level = "s" (i.e., optimizing for size), to get it down to 23kB gzipped.

This Rust code [1] heap allocates some things (e.g., a string with `String::from`), and results in this [2] WASM file, which is 65kB, or 25kB after `gzip -9`. [1]: https://github.com/killercup/wasm-experiments/blob

Yes, once [1] lands, you can add it with `rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown` and then you can `cargo build --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown`. You should note that it's not as simple as that, though. Depending on the context you w

There's a difference between having numbers and having specific numbers to commit to… If you want raw numbers, some are tracked at http://perf.rust-lang.org Also, incremental compilation is making very good progress. More f

You can write Rust in a quite functional matter, but as a language it works quite differently from Haskell or Scala. There's been a lot of discussion [1] around extending the type system to support something akin to higher-kinded types

Good question! It was merged quite close to the release, so it's hard to guess if it landed in beta already. So, let's have a look at [1]! And yep, it's in the beta branch. This means it's in 1.23, which'll be relea

I'm a big fan of doing fancy things on CI, so I'm always looking for cool ideas there. This talk seems to mostly be about tooling around dependencies, though, so your comparison to Rust is interesting: Rust's cargo is all-aro

I would assume because their VM/bytecode version is very fast at rendering updates and smaller in size than a "represent the bytecode as JS" version.

It's funny that Lidl, the store in the picture at the top of the article, is one of the stores I always pay with debit card in Germany. They have great NFC support and don't give a damn if I pay my 79¢ bread with card.

Yes, I learned about the Weimarer Republik and it's economic issues in school in Germany. (I guess it was in 8th or 9th grade and that history class was mandatory.)

by killercup 9y ago
It's currently dependent on implementing traits for very large tuples, so you could argue it's a language feature we are waiting for (cf. open RFC #1935 [1]). (There was a PR on Diesel to use HLists but it's no longer pursuit

If the compiler gives you an error with a suggestion "You probably need to add `extern crate foo;`" (and it already does in some cases), RLS (i.e., your editor plugin) will be able to automatically add it for you (soon™).

That was actually specific to the IE 5.5 feature set and that era's Microsoft in general. Microsoft has been doing some amazing stuff in the last years, with many of them being open source and community-driven.

Yes. They seem to mean "Rails-style translation files that happen to be in YAML format" when they say "YAML".

I don't know about general-purpose, but I've seen Prolog implementations for specific logic problems. Most recently, chalk [1], a Prolog interpreter designed to be used in the Rust compiler's trait system. So I wouldn't

There are some crates that add a derive for errors, but most people tend to use error-chain or quick-error. Both give you the boilerplate pretty much for free, with various other advantages. E.g., using error-chain, you can just write the a

I know many German companies require you to store data on servers also located in Germany. (But I have no idea if it's similar in other countries.)

One post about how you actually rewrote a thing in Rust (like ripgrep or exa) is worth 50 that suggest this general idea.
