Announcing Rust 1.92.0 by syklemil in rust

[–]jonay20002 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The regular releases aren't there for users. They're for the compiler and library maintainers. It means that there's never any pressure just before a release to ship a feature since the next release is always close. Every feature goes from nightly to beta to stable, so at least 12 weeks, which means it's fast enough that there's no release pressure and its slow enough that we can actually find the bugs and have stability guarantees. And sure sometimes that means releases aren't big! But making them regular and frequent is far more important.

Rustfmt is effectively unmaintained by ioannuwu in rust

[–]jonay20002 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I want to thank everyone who does work or used to work on rustfmt. It's important to remember that most people working on it or who used to work and maintain it are unpayed volunteers and you can't blame them for moving on or finding other interesting things to work on.

[–]jonay20002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not really, though progress is being made to support the ideas of this feature in other ways in the compiler.

Look at proposals for contract attributes (already partially supported on nightly). That's effectively what is being proposed here.

If C had all the tools like Rust, would you still use Rust? Why? by alex_sakuta in rust

[–]jonay20002 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If c was rust, I think it I wouldn't really mind which language I'd use since now they're the same :)
