:ferris_gesture: crates.io has an experimental dark UI mode now! 😱
we finally implemented our most upvoted feature request over the past weeks. while we are still searching for potential issues, the default mode is "Light". once we feel confident about the dark mode we will switch it over to "System".
What’s extra confusing about the #rustlang module system is the mod keyword doubles for creating and importing modules. So in one context it wraps stuff, and in another it's linking stuff.
Oh, and don't forget there are special file names and folders that do things without any use of stuff.
@khalidabuhakmeh I guess you're talking about mod foo; where there is a foo.rs file?
you can think of mod as declaring that there is a module. if it has { ... } then the content is directly written next to the declaration, if it is just mod foo; then it declares that there is a module at <name>.rs (or <name>/mod.rs).
the use keyword is then used to actually import/link stuff.
🦀 crates.io just passed 50 billion crate downloads 🎉
thank you to everyone who contributed and to all of our sponsors!
and while we're at it, thank you also to the Rust Foundation for providing the crates.io team with a full-time employee dedicated to maintaining and improving crates.io :)
I wrote a small blog post about an interesting situation the crates.io team was made aware of a couple of weeks ago, right before the @eurorust conference.
