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…

In Rust it's the compiler that complains, with C++ it's the colleagues By Vorner on the Gitter channel. https://gitter.im/rust-lang/rust?at=5b212b1a37a2df7bed398c7c

Rust has good reason to be damn proud of our good friend borrowck! She always has our back when it comes to things like data races or reference invalidation, and while she might seem an aloof mistress to the uninitiated, she is actually much like a loving mother, keeping us all safe & sound. @llo…

[image] How (not) to use unsafe code I’m hesitating in cc’ing [the crate author] because I’d rather this be an educational conversation, and not a unsafety witchhunt. @vitalyd channeling respect, code safety and learning in the discussion How (not) to use unsafe code , truly showing the best th…

Starting with the rust 2018 preview, if one of your dependencies isn't sufficiently crate, you can import it with the following syntax to make it up to 100% crater than the default: crate extern crate foo; /u/ben0x539 on /r/rust

From deep in the bowels of internals.rust-lang.org Centril brings this nugget of wisdom: I think the notion that you can add dependent types without changing / expanding the mental model is mistaken personally.

If only rustc could check my comments as thoroughly as it checks my code /u/asbananasasyousay

From @mbrubeck on IRC on why there are no nightlies for the last 4-5 days: bors lives at the north pole, so near the summer solstice it's never night, hence no nightlies

@skymuse From skymuse in this Rust users forum: I cannot say this enough, becoming a productive Rust programmer is dependent on understanding the memory model.

actix-web has removed all unsound use of unsafe in its codebase. It's down to less than 15 occurences of unsafe from 100+. Title of the /r/rust thread celebrating this commendable achievement. (Thanks /u/_ar7 , I agree that after the shitstorm actix-web received, we should also spread the love)
