Thought experiment: Most programming languages were designed in an era where mostly one programmer coded in isolation. If you were designing a language for modern collaborative programming/commenting/etc., what would you change? How would you *modify* existing languages?

truly magnificent

use iddqd::{IdOrdMap, IdOrdItem, id_upcast}; #[derive(Debug)] struct User { name: String, age: u8, } // Implement IdOrdItem so the map knows how to get the key from the value. impl IdOrdItem for User { // The key type can borrow from the value. type Key<'a> = &'a str; fn key(&self) -> Self::Key<'_> { &self.name } id_upcast!(); } let mut users = IdOrdMap::<User>::new(); // You must pick an insertion behavior. insert_unique returns an error if // the key already exists. users.insert_unique(User { name: "Alice".to_string(), age: 30 }).unwrap(); users.insert_unique(User { name: "Bob".to_string(), age: 35 }).unwrap(); // Lookup by name: assert_eq!(users.get("Alice").unwrap().age, 30); assert_eq!(users.get("Bob").unwrap().age, 35); // Iterate over users: for user in &users { println!("User {}: {}", user.name, user.age); }

new #rustlang crate drop: iddqd! ID-based maps where keys are borrowed from values. Four maps are included: IdOrdMap, IdHashMap, a bijective (1:1) BiHashMap and a trijective (1:1:1) TriHashMap.

At Oxide we've found this pattern to be very useful. iddqd is no-std compatible, too!

YouTube video by Derek Sivers First Follower: Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy

I often think back at this video from Derek Sivers: "The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader."

This has been true so many times in my experience. If you haven't watched this video yet, it's well worth your time, it's only 3 minutes.

i dont know and im so mad about it lol

the capitalization strategy of Ipv6Addr should be illegal

PSA: if you're shipping a CLI tool in Rust, please give an option to use the system certificate store. Most Rust libraries for network stuff will just use the Mozilla webpki list by default.

Environment variables - cargo-nextest Environment variables nextest reads and sets, and whether it's safe to alter them within tests.

Rust 2024 is (finally) going to mark std::env::set_var and remove_var unsafe. But many tests want to alter the current process's environment. Here's some documentation about its safety.

I think this is a case where nextest's process-per-test model shines, with clear, composable semantics.

you‘re not wrong 😅😅😅
