I think that being able to write down the lifetimes in the language is beautiful. You don't have to do it, but if you want to do it, being able to do so in a way that's verified and enforced by the toolchain beats doing so in a do

I don't speak on behalf of them, I saw this on Twitter back when it happened, e.g., check Aaron Turon's twitter feed from back then.

There is a big difference between a BMW or BMW with M sport packet, and a BMW M. The BMW Ms are actually developed by a different company (the BMW M company, which is different from the BMW company). For some reason people think of them as

I bought AIAIAI headphones decades ago, they work with all tech I use: I just plug them in, and they just work. No need to pair them with bluetooth, no nothing. Since they are modular, they also have been a breeze to upgrade and repair. Nee
