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…

[image] Link,exe missing On windows link.exe doesn't come with operation system, you have to install Visual Studio (not Visual Studio Code, that's entirely different product, be sure to thank Microsoft for naming two absolutely unrelated products almost identially… Microsoft does that regularly) …

[image] Why are the version numbers on crates.io so low? community People get more mad when something is >1.0 and the public API changes (or even when there's a functionality change/regression, because there's a more general meaning to "break" than the one…

[image] Aliased Xor Mutable core for a high-level language After all, Rust only became as good as it is by going through a rather drastic transformation. At one point it had a GC and Green Threads, famously. There's no substitute for making it exist and seeing how it does on a real problem. sc…

I don't think eating modern JavaScript is very healthy. It's full of sugar. – u/coderstephen on Rust Is Eating JavaScript

Rust tried to have polymorphic generics in the early pre-1.0 days, and they quite reasonably gave up because it was too much work. For real Swift, great fucking working for getting all of this to work! – Aria Desires on her blog
