Heh, the name wasn’t chosen to reach a huge audience anyway. If I get too many users, I might lose my zen over trying to support them 😂
But I’m happy to have a few folks along who don’t mind building their IDE from source.

Can’t we just teach them to be nice boys? Sometimes easier said than done, I know.
It’s possible yes, but the nice thing is that we know we are not merely talking about “advanced people with vastly superior technology” here. The proof implies that technology within our own universe would never be able to simulate our own universe, no matter how advanced or superior.
So if our universe is a “simulation” at least it wouldn’t be an algorithmic one that fits our understanding. Indeed we still cannot rule out that our universe exists within another, but such a universe would need a higher order reality with truths that are fundamentally beyond our understanding. Sure, you could call it a “simulation” still, but if it doesn’t fit our understanding of a simulation it might as well be called “God” or “spirituality”, because the truth is, we wouldn’t understand a thing of it, and we might as well acknowledge that.
I’m agreeing with you, but I don’t think the phrases have to be condescending, smug or detached?
They surely point to a disagreement, but can’t they be used from such a position in a genuine capacity without implying the person is being condescending or smug about it?
Of course it’s easy to see how when those things are said to you, they may be perceived as smug or condescending, because the other person doesn’t want to agree with you. But that doesn’t necessarily make them so.
Not a native English speaker though, so genuinely curious about the nuances here.
I dunno, I have a Framework laptop and had a keyboard issue with it. It still worked, but one of the keys didn’t register well. So they sent me a new keyboard and I sent them back the old one after I’d swapped it. Not a single day was I without my laptop, which sounds quite unlikely compared to other laptop brands and the support you get (or not) with those. No buyer’s remorse here.
Would you have a link to that? I know there are many third-party garbage collectors for Rust, but if there’s something semi-official being proposed or prototyped I’d be most curious :)
Does the Rust compiler use their std sort algorithms, or does it already use specialized ones? If the former, it would be a great side-effect if the compiler itself receives additional speed ups because of this.
Couple of weeks ago there was a post here calling for more content to be posted in this sub, so I figured you might appreciate the content. As a project, Biome is also helping a lot of web developers become interested in Rust, since many of our contributors make their first-time Rust contributions there.
Slide with text: “Rust teams at Google are as productive as ones using Go, and more than twice as productive as teams using C++.”
In small print it says the data is collected over 2022 and 2023.
Ahh, that's good to know! Thanks, together with @taladar@sh.itjust.works fix that resolves it :+1:
Great stuff! Good to see that a few of those changes wouldn’t apply to just the Rust compiler, but other Rust programs as well.
I used Elixir for a project in 2024, though I was not the lead on the backend part, so my exposure was limited. Still got a nice taste of it, and have to say I was positively impressed.
The Erlang VM is kind of amazing in the capabilities that it offers, and integrating with external languages was also easier than I thought it would be (we had a Rust core that we needed to link in).
As for Elixir specifically: the language is nice, but its Achilles heel is definitely that it’s dynamically typed. For this reason I would suggest having a look at GLEAM, even though I have no personal experience with that and don’t know how mature it is.
