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.

Lots of people in the comments saying this was a C mistake. But C++ is not compatible with C, so it chose to inherit this problem.
"if you pass an array to a function it can no longer tell how big it is, you have to tell the function how big the array is in advance" - they made the language wrong then!
(i am joking but it is funny finding out how much harder this is than c# or python)

it's great that android moved to make rust capable of replacing c/++ in android (net new systems code is more rust now)
but eventually someone there's got to realize: rust could also be preferable to kotlin for the role it currently occupies

“We adopted #rustlang for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density ... with Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.”

man, can you imagine a world where we poured 1, 10, or 252 BILLION dollars[1] into maintaining/developing open source, programming languages, dev tools, teaching material, documentation, etc?
like, god damn. 1/10 of that, and AI would probably work better too.

Rust programmers, do you worry about supply chain security? I.e., that a dependency might contain a bug or malicious code?

I've been thinking lately, that the distinction between local and distributed system is not that useful.
Every computing system is distributed at some scale, the distinctions are the characteristics of the I/O interfaces.

I'm writing a #rustlang crate, I want opinions on what to use to represent non-byte aligned addresses. Right now I'm dealing with 5 bit addresses.
