@Mara it's funny how they say "relatively minor release" and there's so much cool stuff in it regardless, especially the slicing and c string literals

@Mara I like the idea a lot. I ran into these quite a bit while learning rust. Thanks to this blog post I have a better appreciation for why it was so confusing at the time. Now that I know the rules I doubt I would opt into super-let very often but the ability of the compiler to suggest using this would build some educational content for how the borrow checker sees things into the tooling, which I'm almost always in favor of. Overloading `super` feels needless to me though. `ext(ended) let`? "programming is serious and not a game [..] stop with the outfits and princess programmer stuff" I think we should all start writing software and giving talks while wearing princess dresses. πΈππ©βπ»

Credit where it's due, he did recognize being TA. That must be the first happy-ending AITA post I ever saw π Fun fact: the most recent CVE in the Rust standard library (toctou in remove_dir_all) also applies to C++ standard library implementations. But in C++ it's just considered undefined behaviour and your own fault if any other process touches the file system, so it's not considered an issue. @Mara the eternal tragedy of Rust security advisories, which put the bar so much higher π₯² |
