May 27, 2023One of the most famous anecdotes that forms the basis of the United States’ political self-identity is the story of an interaction between Benjamin Franklin and Elizabeth Willing Powel after the Constitutional Convention of 1787...
I have been devoting a lot of my free time in the past month to thinking about structured concurrency, and a blog post about that is coming soon, but first I want to revisit iterators and generators.In a previous post, I wrote about one of...
This is the first post in a series of posts about concurrency in Rust, and the different APIs that can exist to support it. Unlike my recent series on control-flow effects, this series isn’t driving toward any particular vision of what I th...
March 22, 2023In a previous post, I established the notion of “registers” - code in Rust can be written in different registers, and it’s important to adequately support all registers. I specifically discussed the low-level interface of the...
March 26, 2023One of the main emphases of my recent posts has been that I believe shipping generators would solve a lot of user problems by making it easy to write imperative iterative code, and especially to make that iterative code intera...
Many people who use Rust for a bit - especially those who like the language but do not fall in love with it - feel a sense that there must be a smaller, simpler variation on the same theme which would maybe be a little less powerful, but wo...
July 16, 2020It’s hard to believe that its been more than 3 years since I opened RFC 2000, which defined the const generics for Rust. At the same time, reading the RFC thread, there’s also been a huge amount of change in this area: for one...
July 2, 2020Last time I wrote about ringbahn, a safe API for using io-uring from Rust. I wrote that I would soon write a series of posts about the mechanism that makes ringbahn work. In the first post in that series, I want to look at the c...
While implementing ringbahn, I introduced at least two bugs that caused memory safety errors, resulting in segfaults, allocator aborts, and bizarre undefined behavior. I’ve fixed both bugs that I could find, and now I have no evidence that...
"Also, there is often a trade-off between accuracy and education. For example, when I correct my toddler that the Sun is actually not moving, but we ar..."
