I am confused by your responses because the "reborrowing" mechanism in the Rust compiler is pretty widely discussed. https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2013/11/20/par... https:

Would it be easier to convince you if I replaced String with a type that doesn't implement Deref or DerefMut? I do wish you had tried it yourself, because I hope your goal is to learn something about Rust and not just to argue down som

You can 100% have multiple mutable references to the same variable in the same scope, without the first one getting dropped. For example: fn main() { let mut s = String::from("s"); let mut1: &mut _ = &mut

Somewhat tangential, but RustConf last year had a talk[1] about a guy picking up Rust to get better times at Battle Snake[2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I1BfSpoWM0 [2] https://play.battlesnake.com/

I see, so it's limited to HPC contexts? I'm just surprised that as a data engineer, I've never seen it in real life.

A Japanese measuring unit for rice, kind of analogous to "one cup" in US kitchens. Measuring cups distributed with rice cookers are usually one gō in volume even in the US.

I got "visit the post office," "go to the supermarket," and "defrost something from the freezer." ...Oh wait, that's just my "to do" list for today.

High schools in my area called the course before calculus "pre-calculus," analogously to "pre-algebra" coming before "algebra" in middle school.

Moby Dick more or less ruined Melville, who was until that point a relatively popular author of exotic adventure stories. It made no money and fell into obscurity for 70 years before being rediscovered by a new generation of critics whose g

I think WasmGC can potentially take a lot of wind out of Rust's sails. If WasmGC reaches a smoothly working state, Rust will stop being the most obvious choice for writing memory-efficient WASM applications. And while some people may f
