cargo build looks simple. But under the hood? It’s a maze of compiler stages, optimizations, and decisions. At #EuroRust25, @noratrieb will break it down. From rustc to LLVM to linking and all the steps in between. 🧵1/3

What did I do in rustc in November? https://t.co/xKAXIVtutJ

"Mundane Halloween" returns! It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put

question: why are things hard to stabilize in the rust compiler?

and https://t.co/q0WLIqkHnV nicely shows that you *don't* need to rewrite everything to get large memory safety improvements, just switching to somehow memory safe for future code is enough, and C++ is in the best position to have good interop with existing C++ code

The difference between C and C++ is that C has really basic memory unsafety, whereas C++ has very advanced memory unsafety

let's hope that Sean's proposals actually make it and are able to move the needle on making future C++ *actually* more memory safe, instead of just adding more advanced ways to do memory unsafety!

it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening.

apropos of nothing...... anyone looking for a Compiler Engineer?

Here's a fun trick you can do with template literals in TS!

If your code forces me to think about the order of operator precedence in the language, you should add some ().
