RE: hachyderm.io/@conjured_ink/115…
I’m gonna boost this again cause we really haven’t gotten very many applications but we could really really use the engineering help, esp if you’re an experienced #Rust #RustLang engineer.
Open source drive bys are great but having a set of folks who are willing and able to commit to just 5 hours a week would make a world of difference for the project. Please take a look and lmk if you have any questions!
We're looking for dev volunteers as part of our Sand Witch Circle—experienced engineers who care about fast, efficient software and making the best of the Web as part of our mission to help online creative communities and fight censorship.Conjured Ink (Hachyderm.io)
Finally, after some months of refining, the "Incremental System Rethought" RFC is out!

The #chatmail #rust core is the base infrastructure library used by all apps and bots. It contains all networking, encryption, email processing and implements all the relevant IETF email standards. It's a single central development place with which the whole ecosystem of clients and bots can upgrade consistently.
We are constantly trying to remove code, and to cleanup things. That's a must to keep a 8-year long evolved code base agile and adaptable. Key insight: The best code is no code ;)

🦀 It's not ready for an official announcement yet, but we're working on a small DB-backed worker queue in Rust.
It's a recurring ask from clients, and I couldn't find anything "production ready" out there.
It's built on top of crates.io's queue. We moved to sqlx (from diesel) as well.
Can we get some eyeballs on it? Feel free to comment here and/or create an issue. A retoot and a ⭐ would also help, of course... 😉

Who would like Rust in CPython 3.15?
@emmatyping and Kirill Podoprigora "propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base."

There are a lot of guides about how to use async Rust from a "user's perspective", but I think it's also worth understanding how it works, what those async blocks actually mean. Why you get all those weird pinning errors.natkr.com
Here's a proof-of-concept example of a Delta.Chat bot for .NET
It's pretty basic, especially since I can't get #open-rpc-generator to generate #csharp code, seems to be limited to #rust and #typescript
To use it, follow the `import` instructions and provide your own implementation of `IMessageProcessor`.

I'd like to parse ipv4 addresses given as command line argument values.
I have got two arguments accepting ipv4 address.
If I specify single such option all is fine.
If I specify both, I 'm getting error like this:

All the Rust Core Type System
I used to use #OCaml quite a bit, though that was a number of years ago, and I use #Rust a lot now.
One of my main gripes about OCaml is how it wasn't very practical in some ways. There was no way to open a file read/write (very common for, say, databases), and because it lacked things like Haskel's typeclasses or Rust's traits, you'd use different functions to seek on a file opened for input vs. one for output.
Looks like it's still the same.

I am slowly oxidizing my unix CLI. A lot of people have made rust based versions of common unix utilities and some of them are REALLY good.
Like fd-find for doing essentially find . -name blah. And rg (ripgrep) which does grep -R but it's aware of git, files like pyc or .bak files, and it excludes them by default.
Now I have sd which is hopefully replacing the last thing I used perl for. I write perl -pi -e s/x/y/g a lot. Just doing a quick string replace inside a file. So sd can start doing that.
I'm also trying to get used to zellij instead of tmux and starship for modern prompt decorations like the kids do.
These kids, my friends, are welcome on my lawn.

🦀 Flattening #Rust's Learning Curve | corrode
｢ Your learning pace doesn’t have much to do with whether you’re smart or not or if you have a lot of programming experience. Instead, what matters more is your attitude toward the language.
I have seen junior devs excel at Rust with no prior training and senior engineers struggle for weeks/months or even give up entirely. Leave your hubris at home ｣
