5% compile speed up for Transparent Huge Pages (kobzol.github.io)

TL;DR: On Linux, if you have Transparent Huge Pages enabled, you can try to run cargo with the environment variable MALLOC_CONF="thp:always,metadata_thp:always" for a potential ~5% speed boost.

I have seen posts that the rust project was setting up it's own Mastodon instance, and now it seems to be live. I assume we will se some official Rust news being posted on this account soon. And hopefully there will be other interesting accounts to follow on this instance in a not so far future.

The private rust crate registry Kellnr goes Open-Source in c/rust@programming.dev

This looks really interesting, and I love the easy to use docker images! So, now I guess I know what I will fiddle with this weekend....

aho-corasick (and thus the regex crate too) now uses SIMD on aarch64 (e.g., Apple silicon) to greatly accelerate some searches in c/rust@programming.dev

This sounds really great and will probably have quite an impact on a lot of users. So, nice work!

Even if it might be fun to see Elon lose money, remember that Starlink is very important to Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia.

Should I Rust or should I Go? in c/rust@programming.dev

And don't get me wrong, I think Go is ok and I use it from time to time. When Go and Rust started to get traction, I actually laughed at Rust thinking it was a stupid language. Why would anyone use Rust when you had Go, it sounded so great with its go routines and all. I then started to use it, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't something that got me all excited either. And it was the horrible error handling and all these simplifications that sacrifices correctness that made me feel it was only an ok language. It is the correctness of Rust and that you have to handle all errors aso, that makes it a bit annoying, but it is also these things that makes it great.

I think this old article exemplify the bad design of Go, and why I think Rust is very well designed.

TL;DR Go takes many shortcuts, in the name of simplicity, that ends up with pure lies. Like providing Unix like permissions for Windows and silently ignore it.

Oh, hadn't seen the "Time travel debugging Rust in NeoVim" before, and I'm bad at using the debugger in vim so this is definitely something I must try out.

Well, that is why some prefer a copyleft license, like the MPL.

I guess this answeres my previous question about the lack of updates to the Intellij Rust plugin.

I like skimming through these summaries, and especially since there are so many things happening on so different levels. It it everythign from tiny snake, to very advanced games. Good read.
