FWIW, in the UK unemployment is also very low at the moment.

I was under the impression that must of Rust's compile time comes down to LLVM

Swift tooling is surprisingly bad especially when It's made by a trillion dollar company. Rust's free rust-analyzer extension provides much faster and much more feature filled IDE features than XCode.

You can do this in Rust today, with the standard library's reference counter

The lint is on by default in the latest version of the compiler

Rust has a lint against this kind of attack + you can explicitly disable non-ASCII identifiers if you really want to

Housing in your area might get vastly more expensive, but housing somewhere else might not see the same price increase. The CPI is for the entire country

Because people like meat? I like meat. I don't like what happens to the animal though. I don't think it gets that much more complicated than that

Last I checked, studies on the issue of social media and mental health are pretty mixed and inconclusive. But it is a popular belief regardless

I was thinking of following the book but with Bevy. How do you replace bracket-lib?
13.
by rtoway 5y ago
Bevy, while an ECS based library, can easily be used to program a game in a more traditional way (excuse my formatting): struct Player { health: Health, } // ECS style fn update_player(query: Query<&mut Player

Thanks for educating me. I am affected by recency bias

Interesting perspective. FWIW a lot of modern languages now have put the types on the left for a good reason, it's a lot easier to parse. Plus for a reader, at least in Rust, wherever you see a `:` you know that a type is coming after.

Wacky, quirky stuff?

I'm not a Go fan but the language to me looks very readable and clean. However in my opinion syntax is usually not that important, you can and will get used to anything

So you want to write a GUI framework(cmyr.net)

> It is a statement of fact, we cannot be any more certain; it is unequivocal and indisputable that humans are warming the planet. How do you convince the deniers of this? It seems that more graphs and facts only make them deny harder

Not mentioned, but I believe this release finally activates mutable-noalias by default!

by rtoway 5y ago
Ah you are right about that. Yes, it would be a nice place to avoid an allocation

In Rust, many times this kind of code will compile to the same code using plain old loops and if statements

The optional brackets really makes the code look clean and easy to read!

I think their reasoning for things that are shortened is that if it's something you will be writing a lot, it's nicer to have it shortened. So pub fn mut etc. are shortened, but return isn't

I think it's fair to say the compiler does a lot of heavy lifting in Rust

Isn't x86 assembly not directly executed by the CPU? IIRC it's turned into microcode instructions. I could be wrong though
