The Rust+Gnome hackfest sponsored by gtk-rs (opencollective.com/gtk-rs) just ended, it allowed us to make great improvements like:

• rewrite the clone! macro so it can now be formatted and have rust-analyzer run on it
• rewrite rustdoc-stripper so it now uses rustc internal API directly and can be called with cargo. Some work remains to be done but it's already useable.
• finally finished the release blog post (we're months late but better late than never :p)
• lots of other cleanups and bugfixes

“Dev by a thousand cuts”

That’s often what #rustlang feels like. I started learning C in the late 80s and BASIC before that. Since then I’ve become an expert in several languages and proficient in several others. I’m an experienced #polyglot and though the rust compiler is by far the most helpful - and pushing other compilers to improve - there’s a lot of sharp edges in the grammar itself. Some other polyglots I’m getting into the language agree.

This looks interesting

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.

It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.

Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, #REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

(Built with #rustlang powered by #curl)

Lessons learned after 3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind

#games #programming #rustlang

A part of #Rustlang that doesn't get mentioned but is a ridiculous quality of life boon:

dbg!()

Just #[derive(Debug)] on a struct and print it. Suddenly you get insight into what's going on. Very rarely do you need to write your own print.

Insert a dbg in the middle of anything

let diffi = debug!(diffs).iter();

and you get a message with line number and the name of variable:

[src/lib.rs:192:19] diffs = [16, 86, 11]

Not even #Python has that!

#coding #softwareengineering #programming

I like to minimize the size of binaries I build. Unremovable debugging strings annoyed me, so I've added an option to completely neuter `Debug::fmt` in #Rustlang

Fellow infosec folks:

If I wanted to incentivize people to try and exploit Hubris, what should I do? What would you want to see?

While open source, the system is mostly used by Oxide, a for-profit company, so I would expect "am I doing this for free" to come up. Explicit threat model is also good. What else?

We've hired firms for this but with mixed results (they mostly know C). I wanna open it to everyone else. I would be _delighted_ to give guidance.

Boost away.

#infosec #rustlang

So Hubris on stm32 has a task called "sys" that handles a lot of common shared peripherals, like GPIO and clocking and reset.

One of the challenges on Hubris is that _parts_ of your application (like sys) can crash, and the other parts need to figure out how to deal with that.

Well, as of this afternoon, sys can't. As in, I have squashed the last potential panic, and turned on a switch that makes new panics into build errors.

I think this is neat.

What if #rustlang only had panic="abort"? (Instead of panic="unwind", today's default.) It could simplify some parts of the language and prevent subtle bugs.

Do you absolutely need catch_unwind? If yes, please leave a reply!

(Panic hook and backtrace etc. will still work of course!)

• No, abort is fine. (64%, 167 votes)
• Yes, in tests/docs. (14%, 37 votes)

A few weeks ago, I introduced and fixed a bug where I accidentally checked if a string literal, instead of a vector, was empty, jokingly saying that I blamed Clippy for not having a lint against it. Following a suggestion from @zeenix, I created a feature request, and it's now actually implemented.
This means that Clippy will now warn you if you try to call `is_empty` on a string. rust-lang.github.io/rust-clipp…
