Cover of the dreaded and abhorred Rustonomicon

Good old C, though I prefer the "C: A Reference Manual" by Samuel P. Harbison and Guy L. Steele Jr. textbook.

Homesick for a place I’m not sure still exisis

A recent article by Alex Kladov - Zig and Rust

Most of you might know Alex as the original creator of JetBrains Rust Plugin and rust-analyzer and he is now working on TigerBeetle database in Zig. So this article is rather interesting, at least to me:
1. As it highlights a couple of insights into the architecture of TigerBeetle, mentioning exactly how Zig helped them
2. And gives a weighted opinion about Zig as a language from a perspective of a person who used Rust a lot.

The thing is I haven't seen yet any other weighted opinion on Zig, all of the other blogs/posts are usually hate/love comments without much detail. And about the TigerBeetle architecture what is curious is that they went for extreme controllability and simplicity at the same time and it seems that it works.

A discussion of C23 standard - https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3588242

This article seems to be all over the internet (hacker news, twitter, reddit). I'm not into C enough to know all the details. But it seems to me that there are some good additions in the standard in the safety area - like checked arithmetic. And I am not sure why everybody hates the new unreachable keyword so much, it's quite ok in Rust with pretty much the same semantics.

so, a quick PSA moment

The Rust Foundation (not to be confused with The Rust Project, who actually develop Rust) is currently planning to put up trademark policies that are so restrictive that this channel would be affected. essentially, they want to prohibit usage of the word “Rust” in names of any projects, including non-commercial. (they also banned a bunch of stuff like modifying Rust logo and selling Rust merch).

that’s kinda awful. if you also find this policy kinda awful, please, express your disagreement in the feedback form. as far as I understand, it would be open for a week.

sorry for offtop & pinning, I hope that won’t happen again.

So it's time to rewrite our bash noscripts in Rust I guess🤷‍♂.

But seriously:
- We already have build.rs noscripts, so having more Rust noscripts in the repo that uses Rust probably wouldn't hurt
- It's an awesome feature for prototyping - Rust online playground isn't as versatile

Finally he joined the Rust Evangelism Strike Force😁

In Rust it's mostly "and also write a book". Doc comments are really good for most of the libraries on crates.io

And Rust experiences "is a plus"😁

Hah it's nice to see the project I worked at previously trending in crate of the week. Good job Qdrant team!

Crate of the week: Qdrant

This week's crate is Qdrant, an open source production ready vector database/similarity search engine written in Rust. There are APIs available for Rust, Python, Javanoscript/Typenoscript and Go.

Not a problem anymore

But you have to use a monad to print Hello World! 🌚

The game development process in general has a lot of tedious tasks so it's only logical to automate them as much as possible. Though there still remains a question how to integrate the artist's vision with the generated content.
