If it helps, I also have tutorials in the works for type inference & type-checking, monomorphisation, optimisation, and possibly codegen too.

Yes, although exploring a cave can get a little creepy! No gore or anything though.

When you say 'broken', what you mean is '1 out of every 50 compiles will need a clean of the incremental compiler artifacts, which adds maybe 30 seconds to the subsequent compile but doesn't mean recompiling dependencies

Also try recompiling it after a trivial change. You'll find that it'll take less than a minute, perhaps even seconds.

If you take 'voxel' to mean '3D pixel', then how does Veloren not fall into that category? What does "real voxels" mean? If you're talking about rendering things as point-clouds or using raycasting, then y

There are several of us. I'm also one of the devs.

The bottleneck for a game like this is the GPU and not the CPU (usually). Additionally, Veloren has a tonne of things that Minecraft doesn't: - A much larger world (compare the number of blocks in Veloren's trees against those of

You can run Airshipper without the GUI from the console with `airshipper run`.

I was one of them, as my YouTube channel can attest. The desire to create procedural worlds never left though.

Actually, completely the opposite is true. There's a reason that voxel games appeared after games with more traditional meshes. The fundamental complexity of voxel data structures is higher: O(n^3) for iteration, and the density of p

(there is no good content in this post, they just want to arbitrarily hate. They make extremely basic errors throughout and clear haven't ever used Rust, at least for anything non-trivial)

I do something very similar, but with power-2 numbers (and have done since my childhood, long before I knew what power-2 numbers were). There's something very rhythmic about counting beats that line up with powers of 2 and I'm abl

Rust already is mainstream. It's being adopted at a very impressive rate and is running in production in innumerable places, serving billions of users.

Compile-time deadlock prevention very, very quickly begins butting up against Rice's theorem, unless you do something silly like having channels be the only way for threads to communicate. Even then, deadlock conditions are still per

We mention it because: 1) The player community and the dev community are not distinct: we involve players in the development process and actively encourage them to become contributors. 2) There are many people that are interested in working

Interesting choice to reply to matklad, one of rust-analyzer's primary authors, to explain how it works.

This article completely misses the point of the original quote. The original quote is not 'they could be working in better fields', it's 'the entire structural incentives of capitalism are messed up'.

Benchmarks wouldn't tell the whole story. This detailed writeup is far better in that it gives information about how and where the two languages differ.

You've just taken the word 'fearless', a word that's clearly subjective, and said that the definition the author gives of it "couldn't be more wrong". That's... a choice.

Code 'bloat' is a bizarre metric to use for anything unless you're on a platform with incredibly constrained executable memory like an embedded device. The fact that Rust specialises its generic code according to the type it&
