Yeah, that's a pretty reasonable concern. Environment variables can be problematic because they are usually inherited when spawning processes, and many build systems rely on this for things like passing through compiler flags. I think

Chisel compiles to Verilog, so you can use that to bridge to other tools for actually synthesizing your designs. But it brings with it the full flexibility of a general purpose programming language which makes it a lot easier to make parame

On the languages front, there is Chisel, which looks promising. I'm not a hardware guy, but Chisel looks a lot more reasonable to work with than VHDL/Verilog, and it's good enough for doing real work on RISC-V. As someone who

So much of CSS seems like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. That's because it pretty much is. CSS standardization and implementation has been significantly lagging what people want to do with it, so people have had to res

I should also add that while you can do a lot of this subsetting, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these issues were already covered by the time the rest of Rust has been formally modelled and verified enough to be a competitor to Sp

Sorry, you are right about that. You can have trait objects without an allocator. I'm not sure how common a pattern that is. Many people like to avoid trait objects and just parameterize the function on a type bounded by the trait in t

You can avoid 1 if you do no multithreading, or if you accept a slower implementation of Arc. Embedded code in Rust almost always avoids 1, 2, 3, and 4. Arc is used for freeing dynamically allocated memory when all references, including acr

What the paper demonstrates is that if you have a correct borrow checker, and you have the ability to create types using `unsafe` which can extend the semantics of the language to cover things that the borrow checker cannot cover, you can w

The problem is, CTE is not caused by "one large hit"; it is caused by repeated, sub-concussive blows. If you had something collapse on the blows that cause it, you'd be changing helmets after just about every tackle. There ar

That's fair. I have never worked with them, so I don't know the precise details; but one of the big complaints I've heard was that compilers weren't ready for them yet, while these days there's now a larger field of

Oh, yeah, I'm aware of many of the reasons that IA64 failed. Intel could have solved this problem by contributing to GCC and LLVM instead of keeping their optimizations proprietary. Then they would also be more easily auditable as well
