Has anyone tried to do a pure-#Rust protocol buffers serialisation/deserialization implementation? As much as being able to wrap over libraries with a C ABI easily is a great Rust feature, dealing with non-Rust dependencies can sometimes be annoying.

As much as code generation is great for straightforward IDE support, these kind of things feel like they should be provided mostly as proc-macros instead, but reasonable can disagree.

ekuber,

@pervognsen that's a good call out for improving the tooling surrounding macros. rustc should be able to reference Spans in non-rust files (there's an open ticket for that) which would make a lot of those things "just work".

@ztj very defensible position

@ekuber@hachyderm.io avatar

@pervognsen @daemontus there's no current limitation today on a proc macro generating files and then referencing those.

@skorgu @adrianco XML is the worst document serialisation format, except for all the others

@adrianco it looks very interesting, but would only be suitable for me on new projects that don't have to interface with existing services.

There's traffic and then there's... Whatever the fuck this is

@hazelweakly if the terminal itself wasn't a shit show, it sounds like what's needed is to improve connectivity to the airport through public transport. In one mile of single lane stand still traffic there are around 260 cars, so for each occupied lane and additional mile of parked cars, we are talking about a single plane load (assuming single occupancy). Looking at departures now 5 planes are leaving in 17 minutes.

My GAS kicked in. While others buy new cameras with overpriced lenses I choose another direction and bought a vintage lens for 80€.

who recognises this famous vintage lens? 😃

@lechindianer is that a Helios 44-2 58mm?

    I'm super proud whenever a newcomer asks a question in a forum, and the response is "if we run the code you want, the compiler tells you this, which explains why it can't doesn't work", and then goes on to expand. I'm terribly against RTFM attitudes, but Read The Friendly Compiler Output should be a valid learning strategy.

    ekuber,
    @ekuber@hachyderm.io avatar

    @odoruhako I've found that sometimes people miss things that are there, maybe because of verbosity, perhaps due to jargon. The forum posters should quote and expand. I'm proud when errors at the very least hint at the issue, even if more help is needed.

    ekuber,
    @ekuber@hachyderm.io avatar

    @c0dec0dec0de @odoruhako I believe that errors like those should be customised. The API designers must have a seat at the table when it comes to compilation errors.

    I arrive to the conclusion that the fundamental political fight is between "better things are possible and necessary" and "but what if better things are different to what I'm used to?"

    @samir ah yes, the "fuck you, I've got mine" middle point

    @samir fair. I'm trying to differentiate between those that are opposed to any change and those who oppose change due to perceived inconvenience.

    Okay so update: my teeth ache everywhere. It’s a bit grim. Makes me wanna puke so i keep sipping water.

    Guess i will be quite hydrated for the next year.

    @ThePlant for what is worth, it gets much easier, to the point that after the first day of a new set, they are not uncomfortable at all. When there are big movements, those ache quite a bit but should be few and far between.
