Also traits. Sometimes I miss ocaml functors in rust, but in ocaml I always missed all kinds of polymorphism. FCMs were too awkward to use regularly.

I worked in Ocaml for five years, and I had a lot of surface criticisms but mostly liked it and would again.

Rust can do most of the same stuff and is more productive on some key dimensions that have nothing to do with memory safety or the borrow checker. Libraries, community, and flexibility.

Why call other build systems instead of rewrite them?

I've seen this in ocaml, eg starting up an async scheduler:

let () =
don't_wait_for (main ());
never_returns (Scheduler.go ())

never_returns is an uninhabited type.

I don't know how it works in rust.

I work there but I would like to know more about the camera

HM type inference is a set of defaults you work within, not something you have expend mental load to keep doing like tests.

I don't want to forget to handle an error case, I don't have to remember to write any test assertions that types give me for free.

Less smug, more fear.

Some people simply can't take a week off, but if you can, you're making more money that week.

The nerdiest part of me loves that i get linter warnings in rust when one variant is too big, advising me to box.

Yeah, I guess if I were that kid, I would think of nothing else than getting the hell out of there for years. It's a sad situation, I agree that the gauntlet of requirements isn't the best this can go.

I don't think that's common knowledge, at least I didn't know it.

Fair, didn't consider that puberty could be something to fear or that there is some time sensitivity to it at all.

There's a few more years to go

Genuine question as a dad, sometimes my kids don't know what they're doing (4 and 2, maybe it gets better). Should you make sure they don't do something they regret, and when exactly would you call it?

But my take is at 18, they're adults and can take my advice or not and do what they want with it.

intersecting sets
