Was async fn a mistake? - seanmonstar
Was async fn a mistake? This stabilization PR for async fn in traits made me think: was async fn in Rust a mistake? I mean, I dunno. Maybe it wasn’t. But play along for a moment. By the way, I don’t…

When Zig Outshines Rust - Memory Efficient Enum Arrays
Proper support for sum types or tagged unions have become table stakes for systems programming languages. However, they can incur a lot of memory fragmentation that’s not trivial to avoid without good support for metaprogramming. This post goes into Zig’s powerful comptime feature, and how it allows some radical approaches to efficient data structure design.
Should I Rust or should I go?
"Is Rust a great fit for this project?" I get this question quite frequently so I think it's time to write down my thoughts if it can avoid you some painful and costly mistakes. Short answer: no. Coming from someone who wrote a successful book about Rust (Black Hat Rust)

Great resource for folks interested in Zig. I went through the exercises last year. Maybe worth going through it again since Zig has changed quite a bit since then?

How to speed up the Rust compiler in August 2023 | Nicholas Nethercote
It has been five months since my last general update on the Rust compiler’s performance. Let’s see what has happened in that time.
A really long post: On Liberty
The struggle between Liberty and Authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history with which we are earliest familiar, particularly in that of Greece, Rome, and England. But in old times this contest was between subjects, or some classes of subjects, and the Government. By liberty, was meant protection against the tyranny of the political rulers. The rulers were conceived (except in some of the popular governments of Greece) as in a necessarily antagonistic position to the people whom they ruled. They consisted of a governing One, or a governing tribe or caste, who derived their authority from inheritance or conquest, who, at all events, did not hold it at the pleasure of the governed, and whose supremacy men did not venture, perhaps did not desire, to contest, whatever precautions might be taken against its oppressive exercise. Their power was regarded as necessary, but also as highly dangerous; as a weapon which they would attempt to use against their subjects, no less than against external enemies. To prevent the weaker members of the community from being preyed on by innumerable vultures, it was needful that there should be an animal of prey stronger than the rest, commissioned to keep them down. But as the king of the vultures would be no less bent upon preying upon the flock than any of the minor harpies, it was indispensable to be in a perpetual attitude of defence against his beak and claws. The aim, therefore, of patriots was to set limits to the power which the ruler should be suffered to exercise over the community; and this limitation was what they meant by liberty. It was attempted in two ways. First, by obtaining a recognition of certain immunities, called political liberties or rights, which it was to be regarded as a breach of duty in the ruler to infringe, and which, if he did infringe, specific resistance, or general rebellion, was held to be justifiable. A second, and generally a later expedient, was the establishment of
This is a big part of what Commune aims to solve. There's no sensible reason for open discussions to be hidden behind locked doors. It's user-hostile, and needlessly increases the cognitive load required to find information that should've been found with an easy search. 🤷
