With today's release of the 2024 edition, Rust joins C in the exclusive pantheon of languages with an off-by-one error in their version numbers.

your outie doesn't blindly make backups, but regularly checks that they're complete and can be restored from

your outie encourages using signal when possible, but isn't zealous about it

your outie makes sure all context is in the commit message, and not just the PR description

IDK what exactly your going for, and this could well be intentional, but the image placement means the text has to be smaller than it otherwise could be.

what is the rust foundation cooking?

Needed to use `-singlestep`, which is a now deprecated, but is the only option available on the old version I have.

Interestingly, it makes it ~15x slower, but does let me demonstrate that this optimization has an effect on some configurations.

that is extremely ugly as the source/target language has no nice features, so the codegen ends up as print statements interspersed with walking the AST (which also holds the result of typecheck)

This is what the codegen for ifs currently looks like; i don't want to rewrite it ever
