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…

Just because things are useful doesn't mean they are magically sound. Ralf in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/132442#issuecomment-2636065726

Comparing compile times to C is sort of like comparing jumping off a bridge with a parachute vs. jumping off a bridge. In the latter case, you'll get to the bottom a lot faster, but not very safely. https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ikn7g5/comment/mbo028c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&u…

Rust isn't a "silver bullet" that will solve all of our problems, but it sure will help in a huge number of places, so for new stuff going forward, why wouldn't we want that? Greg Kroah-Hartman, senior Linux kernel developer in the ( Linux mailing list )

Treat anything starting with cargo as if it is cargo run. This applies even to commands that do not build anything, such as cargo clean, and third-party plugins, such as cargo audit. Shnatsel on /r/rust

Probably a terrible idea, but I enjoy throwing ideas at the wall, and seeing how sharp their broken fragments are. coolcatcoder on RFC #3762

Did it work? It’s Rust, so it worked on the first try! James Calligeros on behalf of Asahi Linux [image] Progress Report: Linux 6.14 - Asahi Linux Porting Linux to Apple Silicon

The perfect reply to all those who complain Rust is too hard: Rust is not actually the problem. The problem is you. "Rust Without Tears: A Guide to Avoiding Common Traps" by Krzysztof Grajek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6Bswfjnzo Tongue in cheek of course.

IEEE 754 floating point, proudly providing counterexamples since 1985! From Highlight Differences In `assert_eq!()` - #4 by jdahlstrom - language design - Rust Internals , by Johannes Dahlström.

Unethical thought of the week: if someone could ensure @compiler-errors get sick more regularly, rustc would run 2x as fast by the end of the year. @matthieum on This Week in Rust #594 : r/rust

But then type system progress would be 0.5x :crying_cat:
