wait thats not nessesarily true. rustdoc always puts the versioned type at the top-level of the file, but other people might want a file full of many different versions of rustdoc-json output, and this is more annoying than it could be.

whereas rustdoc consumers need to handle versioning themselves (rather than as part of a Deserialize impl) but that’s mostly fine because the versioned thing is always top-level.

oh hmm wow with the oxide way the version handling can be done nicely by serde as an enum (so the versioned thing doesn’t need to be top-level).

WDYM internal buffering concerns?

wait i forgot “for rustdoc-json” in the above post, making it almost totally unreadable 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ rustdoc-json does the latter, which works for it because the format knows it’s versioned, rather that that being separate.

ooh, interesting read, thanks! i’m idly wondering if having {“version”: <n>, data: { <…> }}, would be better in principle than {“version”: <n>, <…>}. (in practice the current scheme works Well Enough (tm) and to change it now would be fairly disruptive)

I wholly and un-ironically believe that versioning ought to make up a significant fraction of any formal training in computers. Multiple full year courses in your degree. And there should be a set of journals and conferences on it, endowed chairs, advanced research institutes, the whole nine yards.

it’s soo good! i think about it sometimes when people talk about wanting to “opt-out of society”

Alona @alona.page · 14/09/2026

mmm yeah makes sense. i should write about how cargo exists in this duality between being totally amazing for me coming from systems like pip or cmake+apt-get, while also being wildly disappointing for build-system sickos (complementry) who need solutions to problems i hadn’t even imagined
