:clap: Rust 1.33 :clap:

I've tried 1.33 with no breakages, but with:

warning: use of deprecated item 'std::error::Error::cause': replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

which seems to apply to error-chain. My Cargo.toml specifies error-chain 0.12, although I notice that Cargo.lock has both 0.12.0 and 0.9.0.

What are "irrefutable destructuring patterns"?

const fn foo((x, y): (u8, u8)) { ... })

It's referring to the argument pattern, (x, y): (u8, u8). That's a tuple argument being unpacked into its two parts, locally named x and y. This has worked in regular functions for a long time, but I guess you couldn't do this in const functions before.

I think the "irrefutable" word is confusing me ^^' (not native English speaker)

Ah, "irrefutable" means that the pattern will always match. Compare this to refutable match patterns, like matching a particular enum variant which might not succeed.

Thanks! Makes more sense now

This sounds great! Compile time evaluated functions are great! Especially with annoying constants and stuff.
On a side note, is there any news on when the ! never type will be stabilized?

congras!!!

Now is it possible to write a tree with Pin instead of layers of containers?
