off to sf for onboarding for the next week

you know rustc is written by lesbians the way its codegen uhauls you at the drop of a hat. girl sees a function call and is like "i guess i'll move in 🥺"

function subtyping is easy, just remember you use **contra**ceptives when putting it inside and a **co**pay when taking it out

hearing that "good first issue" tagging is becoming useless because it just prompts a bunch of identical ai-generated PRs. makes me wanna burn down a datacenter. fucking. god. what a pointless salting of the earth.

not a lot of people know this but if a restaurant ever serves you sushi that looks like this you should send it back -- it's so old that all the rice has settled to the bottom

everything they serve at the olive garden can be edible panties if you fuck up bad enough

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

so pumped for the ty beta to finally be here, we did so much great work it rules! astral.sh/blog/ty

lisp is ancap xml

python match statements are beautiful and the implications of pattern matches with python scoping rules are extremely funny

average company meeting at Astral

Just remembered this great series of retrospectives on Swift's language design by Jordan Rose belkadan.com/blog/tags/sw...

Bring back std::std, the curious inner-module did nothing wrong github.com/rust-lang/ru...

THIS IS A SOS DISTRESS SIGNAL: Any of my mutuals on here happen to be 65816 wizards and extremely interested in it? who might be interested in solving a single problem in smrpg modding?

never forget the brave unstable compiler flags that gave their lives in the line of duty rest in peace, -Z everybody-loops, the compiler flag that replaced every function body with loop {}

implementing Drop is a Rust poweruser feature

<implementing python docstring rendering> "huh why does the ipaddress module in the python stdlib have a ton of google-style docstrings" # Copyright 2007 Google Inc. # Licensed to PSF under a Contributor Agreement. ok google, sure thing buddy, proud of you i guess

yooo the android devs are officially writing more rust per day than c/c++!!! security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust...

just learned python typing invented a new kind of voldemort type, one which when named doesn't actually name it `float` and `int` are two distinct types but if you write `x: float` that actually means `x: float | int`. but if you write `x: float | int` that means `x: float | int | int`...

oh no i'm understanding python types enough to take psychic damage about them now help

in honour of yet another rustc dev coming out as trans, i propose that we rename Compiler Diagnostics to Compiler Dysphorias

Arukenimon my beloved #digimon

if my greatest legacy on ty development is convincing my coworkers that defaulting to bivariance is fucked up and evil, i will be content with my impact

tired: x = y wired: from . import y as x

advice to every Rust organizational decisionmaker out there: shut up, stop making excuses, and take notes from the PSF: bsky.app/profile/pyth...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Finally had a chance to use if-let chaining and oh it's glorious ok this feature is wholy justified. Free from the shackles of complicated and_then chains.

Escape the Cradle is launching on steam at next fests conclusion (october 20th), but you can already get it DRM free on itch already! azurezero.itch.io/escape-the-c... Check it out and Help Hina escape the dungeon today! #indiegames #gamedev

difficulty discourse? you guys seem to find discourse pretty easy where i’m sitting

talking to gamedevs about PL design is always so funny because it's constant whiplash between "the language should support incredible magic for these extremely specific idioms" and "the language having any magic at all is the most offensive thing in the world to me, why am i not in control of this"

An interesting detail of PL design that I hadn't really appreciated before because it only *really* maters in IDEs: Given a constructor call like `MyClass(a, b)`, the token `MyClass` is a reference to two different definitions: the class itself, and the constructor.

it has been 0 days since i have been jumpscared by powershell vs pwsh differences

approaching the throne of rust-lang and receiving the divine directive to break 10,000 learn-to-write-a-game-in-rust projects on musl linux (projects that haven't `cargo update`d in years and are using an old version of getrandom and the libc crate)

Little smooch vs Big smooch!

the amount of times ive cried about windbreaker, i am increasingly convinced it is genuinely the best anime i've ever watched? it is, so important to me. so positively and unapologetically queer.

happy bday Lyn <3

Daily #1690 - Hopelessly addicted

every now and then i'm like "maybe i'm too hard on arm64 windows, it's real, it's been so long" and then someone is like "we need to prefer installing and running x64 cpython on arm64 windows because no one compiles wheels for it, which makes native a more broken experience than emulated" nice nice

honestly do not know how people go to confs without looking like a weirdo queer, it is SO CONVENIENT for people to constantly walk up and be like "hi i know you" and i wait patiently for them to reveal a detail for me to remember them (sorry to everyone whose names and faces i instantly forget)

incredible rustc flag of the day: -Zunleash-the-miri-inside-of-you

i don't know this victor ciura guy but i am gonna hurt my neck nodding in agreement to his talk about c++/rust ffi requiring a deep purposeful effort with both sides of the boundary havinf cooperating compilers

talk went well! i am brain dead now zzzzzz

my talk "shipping uv's binaries to millions of machines" starts in 4 mins!!
