fun? fact: when talking about this with a friend, i assumed the convention of using RBC for Red Blue Cloud, and he used RBC for Rain Balloon Cloud, to much confusion.

It is entirely possible that Rust’s greatest legacy won’t be anything to do with safety but that it did for sum types what JavaScript did for closures.

I'm unreasonably excited about the upcoming cargo-semver-checks release: this month we put some points into "make it a joy to use and build." - 3x faster at scanning very large crates - its `cargo test` now takes 1min not 6-7min - we gracefully handled a massive change in the rustdoc JSON format

just saw a take about how “worse” type systems were better because LLMs/agentic can’t handle expressive type’s the author is in dialogue with they want the tools to just be able to run without interruptions from a system that can be correct i hate how genAI is such a dimming of horizons everywhere

still wild to me how it's mostly unquestioned that "lexing" in a compiler is a separate stage (rather than an implementation detail of the parser) and yet "semantic analysis" can emcompass like 4 different passes

rustdoc-json finally has structured attributes, using an enum rather than a string. This should mean no more parsing by consumers, and `FORMAT_VERSION` breaking due to rustc refactoring:

New blog post + cargo-semver-checks v0.42 is out ✨ I found some unexspected sharp edges in the `#[target_feature]` attribute. They are getting fixed (teamwork! 🤜🤛), and cargo-semver-checks now also has lints to save you from footguns!

fun realization: in math/PLT, a "mechanized" proof is the gold standard for something that's rigorously checked, and can't go wrong in any way. this is very confusing to people who actually work with mechanical things, which routinely break in weird and wonderful ways.
