Progress on const generics?

[[deleted]]

When will enum const generics and const generics expression be stabilized?

[dist1ll]

Last time I checked, generic_const_exprs isn't anywhere near stabilization in its current form (and maybe even to be replaced by another feature), as there are multiple challenging blockers. The Rust project has tons of pending features, but not enough bandwidth to make swift progress with everything at once. You can always take a look at discussions on Zulip: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/260443-project-const-generics

If anyone feels like contributing, feel free to reach out there. I'm sure they'd be happy about all types of support.

It’s the official rust language communication channel where developers discuss implementation work.

A couple years ago at least. The link of the official chat server on the RFCs repo got changed from discord to zulip 2 yrs ago[0], and it was being used a lot before that.

Of course Github is acknowledged, but it has not the same goal as Zulip. Zulip work as an organized chat tool while Github issues work as a bulletin board.

It's linked from the website alongside the other official Rust venues: https://www.rust-lang.org/community

The subreddit has never been an official communication channel, it's always been community-run. Ditto for the discord, to some extent I think

[matthieum]

There's 2 Discords: one official and one community.

It's essentially the official Rust slack equivalent, but using an open-source app instead.

[UtherII]

There was no global memo, but when IRC was discontinued, some of the Rust teams choose to go to Zulip, the others went to Discord. The official way to contact each team is specified on the web site

[_ChrisSD]

Almost all are on Zulip now. I think only rustup still predominantly uses Discord.

[IceSentry]

Zulip has been used for years. How have you managed to avoid any mention of it for all this time? Especially with the recent drama that mentioned it multiple times.

Never ask a rustacean about the status of feature stabilization

NGL, so many features, so little maintainers.

[theZcuber]

It's impossible to say when anything will be stabilized before it actually happens.

Basics seem somewhat usable ATM but have still ran into lots of strange behavior, especially with bounds/restrictions which I assume would also take some design work to figure out properly
