    The problem of offices is not when we spend time in them but rather that we spend time in them at all. What a banal hell it is we have consented to endure compared to the comforts …

    I hadn't heard of ATS before, and I think that I mistook your using it as an example of "more isn't always better" and thought you were suggesting it as an actual alternative. I'm …

    Rust's real superpower is its tooling. Cargo handles package management, building, testing, documentation, and publishing. The compiler's errors explain what went wrong and where i…

    That C++ already has many implementations of sparse sets seems to be a point in favor of sparse sets rather than a point against Rust, especially given that C++ doesn't need them t…

    No, it would not. Even conversions using "as" are discouraged in favor of conversion traits such as From and TryFrom. Rust's goals of being explicit and correct are at odds with pe…

    On the contrary, I find indices to be the most natural way to represent anything that resembles a graph in Rust. They allow you to sidestep the usual issues that arise with ownersh…
