> Rust offers advantages in reliability and security over traditional programs written in C/C++. This preview shipped with an early implementation of critical kernel features in safe Rust. Specifically, win32kbase_rs.sys contains a new implementation of GDI region. While this is a small trial, we will continue to increase the usage of Rust in the kernel. Stay tuned!
@hywan Its not a surprise since some of us knew months ago but its still nice to see. Adoption and success for the #rustlang ecosystem has made its mark and im so glad they did. Awesome news all round!
The CRAN #rustlang policy doesn't strike me as coherent. "Here's two options one of which we will take away sometime".
Then they make a strange complaint about crate sources being able to change without their versions changing which is not at all possible for crates submitted to crates.io. This is however possible on CRAN, there are numerous documented cases.
They also claim building is too hard because crate versions are not fixed. As if cargo.lock files do not exist.
Boa is an experimental Javascript lexer, parser and compiler written in Rust. Currently, it has support for some of the language. It can be embedded in Rust projects fairly easily.
A lot more features are now supported, with a 78.74% conformance to the ECMAScript specification.
Is there a #rustlang equivalent of python "contextvars", that is: a "thread local" variable that is maintained across async/await code?
It looks like the tracing ecosystem has invented something very specific with tracing::instrument::Instrumented.
I'm trying to solve a somewhat more generic use-case: communicating HTTP request context down to locations that log errors: path, route identifier, maybe user ID.
An incredible and must-read blog post explaining the internals of the regex Rust crate. How it has moved from a “monolithic” to a “multi-library” project. It explains in details the problems regex engines have to deal with, the importance of literal optimisations, the NFA data type, and the various regex engines that are implemented (incl. a meta engine, to rule them all).
Some work on parallelising the tests. I've ported the cd builtin, and the hype is real - Rust's error messages really are good, and if it compiles it's most of the way to working. Already feel confident in Rust in a way I never did in C++.
Let's do this again! My name is Dallas, but I prefer being called Oro - still iffy on my name. Do give suggestions if you want to, though.
I'm a (pretty queer) developer from southeast #Texas, USA. A few(!) years ago I installed (Arch) Linux, and that started my whole Linux journey. From there, I started to learn #Flatpak, and got pretty intimate with Linux. After my Arch install failed again, I finally installed #Fedora, and after that broke I went to Silverblue and have been comfortably developing using it for one year now.
I've been learning how to program, and am somewhat familiar with #Rust. Now I've rewritten some xdg-utils, and am looking at learning how to build a web utility using it.
Just published a post on how you can compile #Rust to #WebAssembly for use with #Webpack, #Nodejs and #Deno. There's also an included repository and CodeSandbox demo. Take a look!
i'm Rylie, known on other platforms under different aliases. i like programming random stuff, along with watching anime, reading manga and playing video games!
my main language is Rust (#rustlang), but i really want to learn any cool languages that pops up!
i enjoy playing rhythm games and plenty others, especially FFXIV! Lumine Vernilet@Typhon if you want to reach out!
feel free to say hi, i'm a bit shy but i won't bite :>
