I'd like to start adding a 'quote of the week' to TWiR . So far though I've been terrible about taking note of good quotes from the Rust world. And also there is much more going on than I can follow personally. So this thread is to beg for people who see insightful or funny things said about or in r…

This is why these days for me the number one selling point for rust is "No UB in safe rust". Much more than anything else.

As someone who successfully avoided using memory-unsafe languages until picking up a DOS retro-programming hobby after learning Rust, I'd say the best argument for people coming from the other side is either the amount of "if it compiles, it works" that you can encode in the type system, or the larg…

As suggested in the linked thread, I'm nominating this comment (or some part of it) to TWiR quote of the week: I just wanted to say a huge thanks to everybody involved in producing the experience that is Rust. Things I highly value in Rust: community: it could so easily have adopted the worst of…

I decided to keep learning Rust because I liked the syntax. I liked the speed. I liked the community. I liked it all. It felt like a breath of fresh air: a syntax more intuitive than Python, JavaScript, or C, yet still faster. https://digital-goobers.vercel.app/posts/learning-rust

On the topic of "hyperoptimisations"... [image] Rust's forcing of using pointers when writing a variable/ printing it If you require it, measure it. That's the simple answer. Everything else is guesswork.

Thanks for nominating my quote. Although it seems to miss a bit of context within the the rust newsletter😅

From Is Rust compile time really that slow? [image] Is Rust compile time really that slow? I'd like to report that Rust's compile times were OK today and yesterday and the day before. I'll keep you posted.

Just ran across this little pearl: [image] Is Rust compile time really that slow? I'm not permitted to touch the heavenly nectar that is mold. The entire post is worth reading, it's a fun little rant.

For some reason, people named Daniel write the funniest posts :man_shrugging:. I've thought about creating a dedicated topic for hilarious posts (which too often don't make a good enough quote of the week, unfortunately). I'm pretty sure @DanielKeep and @Yandros would fill this hypothetical topic wi…
