stackoverflow, @shepmaster: This would be a good example of what Rust helps prevent, but you've
deliberately turned off the safety checks, and now we are back to C.

kmc: "Rust follows semver. The major version number is the 160-bit integer corresponding to the object ID of the head git commit on master."

<Savago> I have the gut feeling that some of this crazyness could be fixed if ImageCache went through an overhaul.
<Ms2ger> Congratulations! You own the image cache now

That, or "For legacy reasons"

The borrow checker is a real tsundere. She's cold and harsh about the
mistakes you initially commit in your code, but she's a real sweetheart
for pointing at all the wrong things in your code. It's just too bad
that some people don't have the patience to warm up with her for a bit.
There's quite a bit of dere in the borrow checker.

i was wondering, somewhat seriously, whether you actually do want to use the generic methods for
everything. as_ref::<[_]>() is almost graphically shark-jumping

Diagnostics are the UX of a compiler, and so they're deserving of the exact same care that is put into mobile app or Web design.

Saraswat made the rules, we just enforce them :P

unsafe restricts which code could contain undefined behavior, but it doesn't isolate the effects of that undefined behavior.
