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…

I don't know what is better, the original saying to the reply to it :smile: @pubfnbar on URLO ( Add a lint to warn against early returns inside closures - #14 by pubfnbar - tools and infrastructure - Rust Internals ): Currently with 37 votes in, the poll shows that 97% think that labeled break shou…

... opaque number sequences (<GitHub> "issue numbers") are not very informative about what is behind that pointer, and pretending they are is harmful. People could provide, instead, actual reasons for things, which do not require dereferencing random pointers, which thrashes cache. workingjubilee …

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person ever to single handedly write a complex GPU kernel driver that has never had a memory safety kernel panic bug (itself) in production, running on thousands of users' systems for 1.5 years now. Because I wrote it in Rust. Asahi Lina, Asahi Lina (朝日リナ) // nullptr…
