Non-tokio runtimes manage just fine without all of those bounds for local, single-threaded execution though. https://docs.rs/smol/latest/smol/fn.block_on.html

Another alternative is to use the RMT (remote control module). I've had success with that. There's a driver for it in Rust: https://lib.rs/crates/ws2812-esp32-rmt-driver

They are callable from plain Rust. See the crate `esp-idf-sys` [1]. I'm using ESP32-C3, Rust, and the IDF for a DIY RGB room lighting solution [2]. Convenient MQTT and OTA updates -- it's great! Espressif and the Rust community ha

Seriously. The post should've just been the "Rust Isn’t Fun for Me" section. That's the reason, everything else is just rationalizing. To be clear, I don't mean to disparage the author's decision. Programming c

I can write on a piece of paper, right now, that I have supreme power over the state. That doesn't actually make it so. Most of the powers the monarchs in Scandinavia supposedly have can't actually be enforced in reality, so they

In my uni, many professors used Emacs when demonstrating. For example, one course [0] used the Agda language [1] as a proof assistant. Afaik, the only good interactive Agda interface is the Emacs Agda mode [2]. Maybe you just live in a regi

Depending on your definition of the term, OOP can imply parametric & ad hoc polymorphism. Sure. But that in no way implies that all languages with that kind of polymorphism are OOP. That's gotta be, like, the first logical fallacy

How do you reconcile "heavy use" and straying from home row? Any serious who actually engages their keyboard in heavy use would be just as productive with a 60% keyboard, as they wouldn't move their hands from home row posi

Do you know how this ray marching compares to normal ray tracing time complexity wise, with regards to the amount of geometry?

For me it's been the opposite. Rust was the first programming language I learned back in 2014, and it's what I've mainly been using until recently. Rust is still my go-to for situations where performance is key, but my most u
