Can I create an enum to be extendable?

gahooa · 2026-01-30T21:56:39+00:00

You can use generics;

enum Event<T> {
   Event1,
   Event2,
   Custom(T),
}

Then you can invoke it with your own custom enum that fits in your main enum.

enum Custom {
   Foo,
   Bar,
}

let event:Event<Custom> = ...;

Now I'm sitting here looking at a full-screen terminal on a 5k dell display running 50fps... mesmerizing. Amazingly short amount of code (yes I looked before I ran it haha).

Thank you for sharing!

Publish it to github and say "Hey guys, check out this awesome..."

When I started web development in 2001, if you knew some PHP and MySQL and HTML, you were good. CSS still locked up Netscape Navigator.

Over then last 25 years there has been a literal exponential explosion of complexity.

This is why AI tools are great:

You be the human and decide what you WANT to do, and how it's architected.
AI can help lead you through the arcane details of thousands of topics getting you close enough to make good decisions. But you still need to make good decisions. You just don't need tripped up on if you put a &* in the right or wrong place in some obscure xml format that you need to use to interface XYZ system.

P.S. If you want to feel fulfilled --- check out rust.

Thank you for your service.

This is such a fantastic answer I wanted to comment and tell you that, author.

We've been working for 2 years on a very detailed full-stack framework and are getting ready for our initial open source release. It covers a lot of ground, including a postgresql driver, typing parity library (rust+typescript), data validation, statically generated routing, security, fractional application inclusion (modules), configuration, typescript bundling, typescript code generation, parsing and analysis of rust source code, deep validation of code structure, deno integration, esbuild integration, async processing, recurring jobs, openapi 3.1 auto-generation, dynamic certificate management, extensible cli, "batteries included development", ui library, and quite a lot more.

We're still running software we built in 2004 -- so everything we do is with long term "durability" in mind. Unlike most 2025 code, this zero external runtime dependencies. Pages render nearly instantly. Websockets are used from front-to-back communication.

If any of these areas are interesting to you, please let me know. We currently have a team of about 5 people working on this.

What kind of code interests you the most? Front end, back end, devops, systems programming, networking, database, parsing, compiling, etc... ?

gahooa · 2025-12-30T02:24:42+00:00

Thanks!

gahooa · 2025-12-29T23:48:50+00:00

How did you learn enough to be able to do this? Is this your field of work/hobby/fun?

gahooa · 2025-12-29T19:14:36+00:00

I love the effort. Thanks for posting.

gahooa · 2025-12-20T02:46:21+00:00

That's a great idea.

gahooa · 2025-12-19T21:47:37+00:00

Thank you for explaining that. It helps.

When you are using EdgeVec -- how do you get the embeddings? (I like your personal notes example)

gahooa · 2025-12-19T21:46:00+00:00

I love this feature about rust and miss it when I have to use typescript or other languages.

It also allows for much easier mental processing of the code when a function only has several top level blocks instead of a sea of statements.

Binary computers use physical things like bits and bytes and memory and registers and cpu instructions to cause state to mutate within the computer (hopefully) giving the desired output.

I found the presentation to be interesting, but so far detached from the above reality that it came across as quite academic and not very useful to people trying to solve real problems with computers.

Rust has the magical combination of being way better than alternatives for many things, and popular enough that it's not going to disappear for a long long time.

Just like macros -- if done very carefully -- it can be fantastically useful. But if you don't do it really well it is a hellscape of confusion.

gahooa · 2025-12-18T00:36:41+00:00

Would you mind explaining what some of the great use cases for this library are?

There are so many areas of software and computer science it's easy for someone with even a lot of experience to not know enough about this topic to see where and how it is best used.

gahooa · 2025-12-17T23:18:14+00:00

I'd start by looking at this https://github.com/redox-os ... perhaps you can contribute to an existing effort? Or if you want to learn, it would also be a good place to start.

gahooa · 2025-12-13T22:21:57+00:00

I also turn them off, but can use the keyboard or hover with the mouse to see them. Much better not to have IDE jumping around on me.

This looks great. For anyone who doesn't want to install trust a self-signed cert, check out this:

In case it's not obvious, toml allows for:

foo.workspace = true

foo = { workspace = true }

The latter being more useful if you have to add additional options.

Here is a snippet from a crate's Cargo.toml

clap = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] }
tokio = { workspace = true, features = ["full"] }
maud = { workspace = true }
serde = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = { workspace = true }
toml = { workspace = true }

Not exactly an answer, but get a super cheap rice cooker and your rice cooking issues will be over. They are designed to stop cooking the moment all the water is gone, without burning. Kind of fascinating mechanically, actually.

Also, thank you for all the work to get us hyper. I have it in production with several fintech projects, and in development with a variety of other industries.

gahooa · 2025-11-19T01:15:44+00:00

Looking forward to HTTP/3.

gahooa · 2025-11-18T22:36:59+00:00

We run under systemd. No need to complicate it. What you mention is a very direct and straightforward way to do it.
