I feel that the quality of auto-generated docs is generally better for Rust than for other languages like C++ (e.g. via doxygen). This is because the tools make it trival to publish and distribute docs for your crate, and people make use of

Usually these inform tools that can be used to detect rule violations. For example, the rust constant evaluator can execute almost all Rust at run-time except for FFI. This allows you to write `cargo miri test` in your project, and run your

To make the path stop resolving, you'd have to perform an action (update the server, etc.). These canaries are not automatically updated: they are manually updated (that's the whole point). If you receive a gag order you just do n

Most programming languages don't have a stable / unstable distinction at all, and unless one is "in the Rust loop", stating something like "_unstable_ Rust can do X" won't probably mean what the reader thi

If they want to squeeze out the last ounce of performance out of the Rust toolchain it probably wouldn't make sense to use stable Rust anyways, so I don't think that's a big downside. Also, they are already relying on "u

I see that you are using MMX intrinsics directly, like _mm_sub_pi8, but you are never calling _mm_empty ( https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide... ) as required by the SysV AMD64 ABI (and pret

You don't need destructors to release resources if you never release them.

The #[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start(...)] and #[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_end(...)] attribute allows you to specify a niche, so you can build a Non255U8 if you want. For example: #[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_end(254)] str

I can totally relate here. I remember that when I started running, "it's too cold", "it's too windy", "it's too dark", etc. were real issues. It was too dark and I didn't had enough experien

The amount of food the UK imports from the EU is irrelevant, the relevant question is how much food does the UK import ? This is because, as an EU member, the UK has trade agreements with many countries outside of the EU. After a no deal Br

I don't think the OP literally meant that porting code was impossible, but rather, that it was very hard to do so and have the result run efficiently.
