Rust Releases! Rust 1.71.0

[@Dygear]

Thank you for not just reading the notes and actually showing all of the details of each item. It really helps digest all of this.

[@NathanStocks]

You’re welcome! The idea is to provide some news that is useful and interesting, and not immediately obvious. Hopefully I’m succeeding at that!

[@appelnonsurtaxe]

This clarifies the 10% of the changelog I didn't understand, thanks for the video! I'm very curious about the gdb stuff. Idk much about custom gdb pretty-printers but I had this exact need 2 months ago when wanting to inspect a syntax tree from the "rowan" library from within GDB. The opaqueness and use of unsafe of this structure made it pretty much impossible to inspect. I may try to implement a pretty printer for them actually, as an exercise. They may be interested in a PR.

[@NathanStocks]

Nice! I hope it turns out well.

[@aaarkid]

I have to say, you've become my favorite, hence only creator I watch for Rust updates. You just put those updates better than other creators out there. Keep up the good work, I'm pretty sure you can only go up from here.

[@aaarkid]

Only feedback I want to give is that you sometimes "sing" what you say, every few words you prolong the last syllable, i.e. 6:14 "how to joiiin". Try to teach yourself not to do that in a video, there are many cases you do that and it's slightly annoying for the viewer. Cheers!

[@NathanStocks]

@@aaarkid Why is it annoying to add inflection to words?

[@aaarkid]

@@NathanStocks I'd say most of the time is fine, but sometimes you pronounce the inflection pretty hard. The example timestamp above is a good example. It's not really annoying, just slightly when it's so pronounced. Hope that makes sense. As I said you're the most enjoyable creator for me in terms of Rust update so I think the engaging tone (on a somewhat boring topic) and the good display of the features is working pretty good. I understand the inflection is part of that engaging tone which is a great idea, but sometimes I wish you didn't go so hard on it. Or maybe I'm wrong and those pronounced syllables are the secret sauce, it's hard to decide here.

[@NathanStocks]

@@aaarkid Thanks for the additional details!

[@jimhrelb2135]

4:54 excuse the nitpicking, while the term ‘flatten’ is probably understood after you’ve shown the code example, I believe it is misleading. I suggest ‘substituted at compile time’, or if you want a single word (though probably make everyone scratches their head but is useful if you want to keep notes short and concise) ‘beta-reduced’

[@NathanStocks]

"substituted at compile time" is a nice way to word it 👍🏻

[@holly_hacker]

Some feedback, when using KZbin's closed captions, they often cover some of the text you are trying to show on-screen such as at 9:25. If you leave some padding to the bottom of your video, this doesn't happen as often.

[@NathanStocks]

Good to know, thank you!

[@porky1118]

7:55 So is it already possible to implement a trait like this yourself? Even if it's not, this basically allows implementing many things for arbitrary sized tuples if you can convert it into an array.

[@porky1118]

Oh, I just realized it's only for N from 1 to 12. So no.

[@NathanStocks]

I think you could do the same sort of approach that the standard library does to implement things for tuples of *various* sizes. They have a macro that produces implementations for arity of 1 to 12, and others could probably do the same thing (and even support somewhat larger arities if they wanted to). However, as you seem to have already concluded in your self-reply, there is not (yet) a way to implement something broadly for tuples of all arities. I'm hoping const-generics is extended to cover that case in the future.

[@jocketf3083]

Awesome, thank you!

[@NathanStocks]

You're welcome!

[@mitepainera69]

Do you guys know similar channel but with javascript/react new things and documentation being read and implemented

[@NathanStocks]

Sorry, I don't! I disavowed front end development the fourth time everything I knew became obsolete. Perhaps some other kind front-end developers will chime in, though.

[@alfiedotwtf]

I don't know...although nice, I'd expect everything should be inherited from the workspace by default, but you have have the facility to None it out or override

[@NathanStocks]

I'm a fan of things like this being explicit so you can reason about it by simply looking at it. The less invisible rules to remember, the better. YMMV, of course.

[@meka4996]

Thank you for the update

[@NathanStocks]

You’re welcome!

[@Kuratius]

Call me when Rust is actually stable enough to recompile its own standard library with LTO without an unstable compiler.

[@NathanStocks]

I'll do better than that, I'll post another video covering it! 😄

[@dimitrobest5293]

please make a review on vlang

[@NathanStocks]

TIL about the existence of V. Thanks! I have no current plans to make language review videos, but if I ever do, this looks like an interesting entry.

[@irlshrek]

i think i understood like 10% of this haha

[@NathanStocks]

Do you have any specific questions I can answer for you?

[@happygofishing]

love musl!

[@NathanStocks]

Tell me what you like about it!

[@jocketf3083]

@@NathanStocks While I'm not the original poster, it's super nice to be able to build static binaries that can run anywhere. Single file (and thus tiny) container images are part of that.

[@swikarsharma3118]

any version updates on rust foundation stupidity?

[@appelnonsurtaxe]

Dude if you're still talking about the trademark thing, move on. It was just a proposal with request for opinion, nothing concrete. Stop creating and fueling drama out of thin air, you're just being toxic and making the community look toxic. No hate against you, I just think that you're wasting efforts for no good reason.

[@NathanStocks]

I'm of the opinion the Rust Foundation and the Rust Project (which are separate organizations) are both generally made up decent humans attempting to do good things. I'm not particularly concerned that they are making missteps as they learn and grow, seeing as how they continue to self-improve the organizations. I'll call out any specific, relevant concerns I have as the topics come up (as I will in my RustConf video), but generally I don't find much to be concerned about.

[@peculiar-coding-endeavours]

Great summary of the new features. As a European, this "US style" of narrating stuff, the tone of it, is EXTREEEMELY annoying :-D

[@NathanStocks]

I’m glad you liked the summary!

That is an unfortunate naming collision. Rust (the language) will be used to create many, many games, though. 😄

This video gave me impostor syndrome xD

[@DMSBrian24]

can someone point me in the right direction to learn about systems programming to be able to understand this magic talk?

[@NathanStocks]

@@DMSBrian24 Well, I teach online Rust courses, but without some context I'm not sure if you're ready to take them yet (they're targeted at professional software developers). Assuming you are an adult, I'd be happy to have a quick video chat with you some time and give you some free advice on books/courses/classes/schools depending on your experience level. Email me at [e-mail] if you're interested and we can set something up.
