GATs stabilization is merged👀 As far as I understand, we should expect to be able to use it in 1.65 release in stable rust!

wasmtime reaches 1.0 release! It is a personal favorite of mine among the WebAssembly runtimes and I think it should be a big step in WASM adoption

An updated mdbook about Rust macros - https://github.com/Veykril/tlborm

I remember using the original one (2016 edition) when studying them, it's cool that Rust team is finally continuing this effort

Iterator semantics for Future and Stream - https://docs.rs/futures-concurrency/latest/futures_concurrency/

For now it's a separate crate, but it is a part of the work done currently by async working group. So we can expect it to be merged into std soon.

This year I will be participating in RustCon as a speaker with a couple of topics I was closely tracking in the past several months. So don't hesitate to join the conference online or offline😊. The video recordings will probably be available after a 6 month delay.

RustCon все ближе, а у нас на сайте все больше согласованных докладов. Сегодня знакомим вас с Егором Ивковым из Qdrant и его докладом «New and upcoming Rust language features»

Доклад будет особенно полезен, если у вас уже есть опыт в работе Rust и желание узнать, в какую сторону язык будет развиваться дальше. Егор обещает разобрать свежие семантические и синтаксические изменения в языке Rust (например, Const Generics и Generic Associated Types). Потом вместе обсудим, где и для чего их можно использовать, сравним, как они соотносятся с дизайном других известных языков.

А еще посмотрим на широко обсуждаемые сейчас Generic Keywords и Context и поговорим про такую острую тему как Higher Kinded Types и нужны ли они расту.

В этом году RustCon пройдет в онлайн и офлайн-форматах. Посмотреть другие доклады программы и купить билет по ранней цене можно на сайте.

Rust 1.65.0 released!🥳

Main features
- Generic Associated Types

With GATs getting into Rust and all that, what do you think about Higher-Kinded Types? Should they be introduced into Rust?

The one I've been waiting here for is definitely hint::black_box that recommends to compiler to disable optimisations in a particular place.

Had a few actual cases for this, when the code which is meaningful is optimised away.

# Rust 1.66.0

Highlights:

- Explicit discriminants on enums with fields
- core::hint::black_box
- cargo remove
- ..=X ranges in patterns

Killer feature

You don't need to debug if there are no bugs. Any valid Rust syntax is guaranteed to be bug free and do exactly what you intend for it to do. The people that still debug are the ones who haven't figured out that smashing your face on the keyboard and pushing straight to production is perfectly valid in the Rust context.

This is what I feel has happened to the Rust core and other teams. Passionate people - who were originally there - burned out and are slowly being replaced by community members that just care for prestige.

Support for Rust is being added to the Chromium project, so that contributors could use Rust libraries from their C++ source.
