Day 13 of #100DaysOfRust

Today monday and I came to the topic of writing tests while continuing to learn #Rust. Of course there are also #tests in the programming languages ​​that I already use, but they are often skipped for the so-called unpaid time. I learn more every day and that everything in the basic course is important. I would say it's harder for me because it's more extensive and deeper - I like #RustLang 🦀

Day 12 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I met old friends (see my timeline), today I'm continuing to learn #RustLang. A lot of structural theory and how long and where its validity is retained. As a web "script" coder, it's a very new world that's exciting to discover. #Rust certainly has its own peculiarities, which I find very exciting and which make absolute sense ☺️🦀

A while back I posted to announce we were enabling the use of #rust as a development language within @thunderbird

Pleased to say that we've now landed support, and as of today it's possible to write new libraries and xpcom components using #rustlang, as part of the libxul build!

Don't worry, we're not about to "RIIR" - this is enabling new code next year to supercharge the backend architecture for your favourite mail client.

So, that's a significant jump - mostly thanks to the merge of the parser rewrite branch, described as "Herculean". The parser, autoloading module, completion module, function management, history management, and the builtins for complete, disown, eval, fg, history, jobs, read, set, and source have all been ported, as well as many other parts of the code.

This also allowed the removal of lots of supporting tools, including the UTF-8 modules, and quite a few bits of the FFI.

After a few months of slow progress this is a huge step forwards.

After two and a half years of rewrite, #Fractal 5 is finally out! Get the #GTK 4 #Rust #Matrix client from https://flathub.org/fr/apps/org.gnome.Fractal and enjoy new features such as #EndToEndEncryption, location sharing, or multi-account with Single-Sign On 🚀

I'm so so excited to announce #rust hyper v1.0 🚀

I'm rewriting it in #Rust 😀

After releasing enum-map 3.0.0-0.gat.0 #Rust crate I realized that a lot of tooling doesn't actually handle semver prerelease versions correctly if they don't have a string like "alpha", "beta", "dev", "pre" or "rc" in them. Just because #semver specification allows it doesn't mean that tools will actually support it.

At this point I'm not going to do anything about this particular release, but I will make sure to include "beta" in my future pre-release Rust crates.

One of the challenges that I'm working on is empowering people with consumer-class internet access (i.e., dynamic addresses) to run their own Fediverse servers. The Publish/Publisher and websocket components I've added to #SofaPub move in that direction.

This allows someone with broad connectivity to re-publish connections from users who are more limited.

This is a big addition and I haven't published it to crates.io yet. But the code is at https://gitlab.com/justindthomas/sofapub.

I just realized that `let _ = ...` and `let _foo = ...` behave differently in #rust.

The former drops the value immediately while the latter drops it at the end of the scope. This almost never matters due to the borrow checker but this was resulting in my tracing context being broken because I was calling `let _ = span.enter()` and the guard was being dropped right away.

Dear #Rust #rustlang devs:

bumping your MSRV is a semver-major bump. It is, in fact, a dick move to your dependents to do an MSRV bump in a semver-patch bump.

Yes, having to do a semver-major bump sucks.

It sucks even worse for your dependents who now have to semver-major with no functionality changes at all, just because of you.

The cargo team is currently proposing to change the policy governing crates.io!

They are looking for feedback wrt to the changes.

They are clarifying the rules regarding what is appropriate or not.

IMO the biggest change is that they are looking to add rules that allows them to remove 'inactive squatted' crates and re-assign them to others.

If you might be impacted by this, be sure to check it out and read about it.

As promised, we are back with a new episode of #AWS Bites #podcast!

Today we talk about mounting #S3 buckets directly in your filesystem using AWS Mountpoint, an interesting open-source project written in #Rust.

Is it a good idea though? 🤨

Hit me with your best #opensource #linux #rust #nixos #podcast links!

Both English and German language is okay.

Additionally, German podcasts about other topics are okay as well.

You have until tomorrow morning UTC, so I can download enough episodes for 26hrs of travel starting Saturday evening.

Published the new 0.2.0 version of the rustc-tools crate. This tool aims to make rustc internals accessible (as much as possible).

Want to write a few lints for your project without adding them to clippy? Take a look at the example: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/rustc-tools/blob/master/examples/lint.rs
Just want a Rust parser? You can too: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/rustc-tools/blob/master/examples/ast.rs

Enjoy!

#rust #rustlang

Wir suchen #Rust #Entwickler. Anfangs als #teilzeit aber sehr sehr wahrscheinlich wird das zu #Vollzeit wachsen (oder mehrere Teilzeit, wenn das besser passt).

Ort: Voll #Remote - wir haben kein Büro mehr - aber aus vertraglichen und rechtlichen Gründen muss der Arbeitsort innerhalb von .de liegen.
Selten (derzeit einmal im Jahr) eine Fahrt in die Gegend um Frankfurt/Main einzuplanen, Firmenevent.

Nötig: Gute #Rustlang Kenntnisse. Und man sollte andere Sprachen (viel C, etwas Java, Bash) zumindest grob lesen können.
Es geht ums (Neu/Um)schreiben von Applikationen.
Außerdem Umgang mit #git/#gitlab nötig - und wir sind voll #linux basiert.

#Festanstellung ist das Ziel, #Freischaffend ist weniger gern gesehen..

Bei Interesse: DM an mich.

#fedihire #fedijob

Boosts welcome.
