By the looks of what I see going on with AI & llms lately, it looks like many people haven’t seen Ratatouille (or not in a long time) in our industry…

We lowered the ticket prices for RustWeek! Individual tickets are now 199 instead of 249 euro. ✨ Additionally, we added a checkbox for an extra 100 euro discount, bringing the ticket price to just 99 euros for those who can't afford the full price. 💛

Radio button: Conference Ticket - Privately-paid tickets (also for freelancers) - €199.00

Checkbox: I can’t afford this, give me €100 discount

That being said, I also don’t know of any asynchronous model that doesn’t have those (no pun intended) traits. 🤔 Arguably, life is asynchronous, so why can’t we make it both easy and simple in programming languages? Am I missing something?

Yeah. Please file an issue! Now I’ll be honest, performance isn’t an issue from where I’m coming at it (and how I took this over and started fixing things). So no promises I’d actually get to it. PR are always welcome tho ;)

In today’s episode we’ll give a shot at implementing `Opaque` values in the cel-rust interpreter. Which would then also let us add support for `Optional`… let’s see how far we can get. But fairly confident we’ll cover the former in today’s stream. twitch.tv/wcgwdev
