I'm not recommending to have a nuclear war over who gets to collect vodka taxes in some East European town. I am pointing out that these people let moral foreign policy run their entire trade block and foreign policy choices, and not a

Glad to let moralistic foreign policy drive the entire trade block down the shitter (it is moralistic FP because EU did not nut up and actually deploy to protect the so-precious-Ukraine, but instead threw its own economy and living standard

Expressions `yield` values, statements don't yield values. `square = square(4)` is a statement (a definition to be exact) that associates name `square` with the value `square(4)`. The name `square` itself, when later used, is an expres

Well, you are asking about disabling borrow checker here, one of the main selling points of Rust and rustc here so I think that's out of the question. When you do full comparison of what rustc does, and compare it to what you need to d

> The beauty of the rust async stuff is that you can move to a multi-threaded runtime as you desire with minimal effort. This is also a downside, having multi-thread be the default and not single-thread. It introduces some awkward /

I think a bunch of the "rustc compiles slow" talk comes from the misunderstanding of what rustc does. For example, to do the same things as `rustc` but using C++, you need to run external runtime modifying program to check your pr

Different libraries using different runtimes is quite unfair criticism, the actual criticism could be "no abstraction over the runtimes". > Most of the features of sync rust don't compose well with async rust True, but wha

One thing which I am afraid of, is that people who make Rust applications or libraries aren't really responsible with its advanced features (which are great!). Like I am positive we'll be getting GAT misuse / abuse just by sh

There's only the ``type Future`` mess because GATs aren't exposed (they're currently compiler internal) so that's easy to fix. They could stabilize it already, but they're listening to community feedback in the resp

What's so wrong with Rust's async / await?

I do not need a programming font, I need a nice serif font for when I take notes in `.md` files. Georgia looks ugly in the editor.

When you feel incompetent (as you do), and you get the feedback from being incompetent (as you have), you probably are incompetent. That said, you can always improve. It's first job, its whatever.
