You are misled for two reasons. First of all, Rust isn't subject to the same soundness issue as Java precisely because of the Rust's ownership semantics. You can't produce the ArrayStoreException issue because you can'

Meh, I don't really trust TIOBE. It's at best a very noisy signal. And languages can end up on there for unusual reasons.

Hah, I remember error_chain. One of my projects during an internship was upgrading a bunch of the old error handling libraries to the new things. I'm glad that corner of the ecosystem has stabilized now. At that same job we hit a prett

I hope announcements like this show that Rust is not a fledgling little language that moves fast and breaks things anymore. It's a mature, serious competitor to well established languages like C++ and C#. This is particularly important

It sounds like you are not running into breaking changes, you are just running into projects that like to use new features that are not available in your older compiler.

Why does the original C verifier have bugs if its supposedly so easy to implement a verifier?

It's useful whenever you don't know the value of an integer but would like to allocate space for it now, and then fill in the value later. Many have mentioned length-prefixed data, which is a good example. Another use case is stat

Neat! It's a useful technique whenever you don't know or want to defer knowing the size of an integer until a later time, but need to allocate space for it up front. I'm wary of introducing these forced-canonical encodings by

by i2talics 4mo ago
Non-canonical encodings are actually quite useful for some applications that need variable length integers. DWARF and WASM both use LEB128. The problem is linking: a compiler needs to emit code into independent translation units, which cont

What good does it really do me if they "stand behind their work"? Does that save me any time drudging through the code? No, it just gives me a script for reprimanding. I don't want to reprimand. I want to review code that was

Nope. I was thinking about implementing call/cc; there is a neat trick involving first doing a CPS transformation to the source, then providing call/cc as a builtin function that more-or-less just grabs the continuation argument a
