I could have sworn that there was a crate providing `ArcMap` and a `Arc<T> -> (for<'a> &'a T -> &'a U) -> ArcMap<U>` kind of thing, but I can't find it?? Thought triomphe might be it, but it doesn't have it. Hmmm...

Exactly one year ago I stepped down from my main responsibilities in the Rust project, because of burnout. Today, a year later, I employ about a dozen full-time Rust maintainers through Hexcat+RustNL. I'm not doing much technical work anymore, but this people stuff is also pretty fun and motivating.

sorry non-followers u get zero context for this cool image

a busty butch lesbian labeled "Rust" is pinning "the value (me)" to the wall with a "std::pin::Pin". I am blushing and holding my tail bashfully as we gaze into each others' eyes. Hearts, sparkles, and roses adorn the pink-colored image.

please you must understand this is not a mental breakdown this is my life now

I don't even know where to start. an insane jj history. lines are going everywhere, it's like 50 different changes, interdependent, but 36 of them come off of one branch then either lead to various megamerges or to other fixes

I'm going insane. a seemingly trivial change makes benchmarks 2-8 times worse. yet when I copy those benchmarks out to a separate binary, there is no slowdown.

if there is only one impl it's much easier to typecheck `x / 2 : X`, but if you can figure a way to typecheck this with two impls -- cool :)

one pattern i keep noticing for myself is how much i wish people critiquing things i like would be better at doing it? like i have my issues with rusts syntax but most of the critiques of the syntax ive seen have ended up in comparing some pretty complicated rust code to some simple code in not-rust

you know, i thought the reputation of cousot papers was at least a little exaggerated but no, they actually look like that lol (this is page 3)

a page full of symbols and operators and... biblically accurate expressions spanning several lines casually inlined into regular sentences as if they were obviously understandable

Semver breakdown for Kubernetes broken down humorously

1 (major): useless, it will never change
25 (minor): it’s a minor version but everything breaks if you upgrade
6 (patch): random single digit, no one cares

another way to put it would be that an underscore is syntactically a type, but it is not a type in the type checker IR (it is lowered to an inference variable)
