The grapheme is the smallest semantic unit of human-readable text. It's not the smallest unit of textual formats, the unicode scalar is. Code that parses text for human semantic meaning would want to use the grapheme cluster as the sma

My issue with Keybase's exploding messages is they're time-based exploding. I wish there was an option to do forward-secrecy messages where the message is visible indefinitely to current devices, but not visible to future devices.

If you're targeting multiple platforms you're likely using an engine rather than directly programming the GPU anyway. So you don't actually care about vulcan vs metal, you care about e.g. "Unity".

That doesn't really justify the decision to continue publishing private information. Just because someone somewhere may have access to it doesn't mean you need to make it easier for everyone to have access to it.

Nurseries and lifetimes are orthogonal concepts. In fact, Rust already has a "nursery", except it's generally called a scoped threadpool. They use lifetimes to ensure the threads can reference stuff on the stack without cop
