GitHub should add a 2025 recap, with things like:
"Angriest commit message"
"How often you added a separate commit just to fix linting"
"Number of curse words added to the codebase"
"What file caused the most bug reports"
"Number of abandoned side projects"

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

While I never want to _deal_ with poison, I do want the invalid state propagated.
I like one suggestion I've seen:
- lock() just panics on poison, no Result
- try_lock() let's you try to recover from poison for the 1%

It is actually kind of amusing how Waymo has caused 0 human fatalities so far but people are mad because they're not saying that they can guarantee 100% certainty that it'll never happen. Meanwhile people are killed in car accidents every day. Even the public transport kills people!

So tempted to write a troll thread on how this incident shows Rust has bad error handling and wouldn’t have happened in Go, where we actually handle errors 🫣🫢😜

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.
