transitive performance benefits

I would have assumed the benchmark suite accounts for that, otherwise the results aren't quite as meaningfull really. Which ties back you your 2nd senctence: I certainly trust the rust team more than myself on these things :)

only affect very select use cases

I did not read the whole conversation, but sorting seems a very common usecase (not mine, but seems to me a lot of people sort data), so this seems quite a broad improvement to me.

that is already perceived as a pain point

Note though, as is mentioned in the issue, that the survey showed people still prioritize runtime performance over compilation performance in general, so this tradeoff seems warranted.

the total regression is still minor

It's not unheard of that regressions can be unmade later on, so here's hoping :)

Alas, on the whole the compiler slowed down as a result of this. I think it's a worthy tradeoff though.

No sarcasm, just an honest suggestion :)

From the Fine Readme:

This project allows you to create games for the Playdate handheld gaming system in Rust lang.

You really should preface every announcement with something like this :)

It's surprisingly simple: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=f176852c61dcf0c3382f0ac97c26de03 As a side node, asking for a value, and then immediately calling to_string on it seems kinda hiding the allocation. I'd suggest let the user call to_string on it themselves.

(e) Changed it a bit to account for passing None as the third argument.

I have an app that ultimately renders pdfs via typst. I'm starting to write tests for the output, exporting the documents to png instead and then applying something like https://github.com/kornelski/dssim or so.

(If anyone has experience with that, I'd take any hint I get ;))

Note that this is not only a cli and a (closed source) web editor, but also a library. So it's possible to embed a full typesetting library in your project, which is awesome. It's probably not on par with TeX yet, but you can already do an awful lot with it. Scripting it is really much, much easier than, say, LaTeX.

I've written nvim-rs, an async library for interfacing with neovim via RPC.

As a sidejob, I'm writing and selling a program to create school reports.

Wow, they're sort-of-targeting edition 2024. I did not expect this, holding my breath ;)

While funny, this also highlights part of why I like rust's error handling story so much: You can really just read the happy path and understand what's going on. The error handling takes up minimal space, yet with one glance you can see that errors are all handled (bubbled up in this case). The usual caveats still apply, of course ;)

Enums/Structs first, but those 2 are mixed, and any impl for them will be directly after the definition of the type itsef. Free functions last.
