Making COSMIC in @rustlang, being a relatively new language, required building the fundamental capability to create a desktop environment. This included text rendering and a complete toolkit of high-level components with deep platform integration. That foundation now makes it…

I'm not sure if I should go down this rabbit hole - ./x.py bench --stage 1 compiler - I created some benchmarks for SmallVec vs Vec, and I'm starting to doubt in the sense of using SmallVec. Seriously, you should use SmallVec only when you benchmark and prove that it's better.

It's quite likely that C++69 will be safe in some areas. I'm not sure if it will be in pair with Rust2015. But I'm sure it will be safer than C++23.

IMO it's a wrong diagnosis. The problem is that compilers do a bad job at optimization. They optimize code for x86 as if it were optimized code for ARM.

Here is a thing. When you read books, they widen your horizons. Books usually try to give you broad information about a particular topic. Using AI for learning narrows your horizons.

I wonder if dividing a proprietary project into multiple crates isn't an anti-pattern. You have like 320k LOC in 70 crates. Sometimes it's hard to refactor due to circular dependencies. Not to mention the orphan rule. It's not impossible to have that code in subdirs in one crate.
