TWiR quote of the week

It's a footgun, yes, but it's a sound footgun.

Shnatsel: "The never type is named after the date of its stabilization" was a good joke while it lasted.

but I gave up on the idea as the macro rules were turning into a turing complete rust syntax parser

I don't think this is true for URLO moderators, still had to chuckle at this amusing hyperbole :smile::

When I first saw that nonsensical topic title, I knew there would be trouble. I think I (just) managed to stay out of it. I think I did draft a reply at one stage, then (sensibly I think) discarded it.
