Llogiq on stuff 08 December 2018 The Rust community team is soliciting blog posts to help plan the 2019 efforts. So here’s my take. I’ll start by looking back at the last year. We’ve seen great and impactful changes in the Rust landscape, s...
proc_macro_attribute Revisited 10 November 2018 Recently, the procedural macro interface was somewhat stabilized. OK, there’s still the unstable proc_macro_hygiene feature you have to activate, but at least the registrar and rustc_private a...
The Case For Macros 25 October 2018 I know a few Rustaceans who are wary of macros. One privately admitted to hating them with a passion. They are right; macros can make code harder to understand (both for humans and computers, for example...
Llogiq on stuff 13 September 2018 Rust is all about paying only for what you use, and gives us plenty tools to eliminate unneeded allocation. One of the tools that is used in a lot of crates (crates.io shows 98 dependent crates) is SmallVec...
Rust Faster SIMD edition 06 September 2018 It’s been a while since I’ve been playing the benchmarksgame with Rust. But I recently found an interesting crate called packed_simd which had a SIMD-ified version of some benchmarks, so as Rust st...
Easy `proc_macro_derive`s with `synstructure` 25 August 2018 Recently, I found myself in the market for some quickcheck. However, there were custom types, which had no Arbitrary implementation. Wondering if someone had already written a pro...
Thanks For Asking! 16 August 2018 One part of my personal dedication to Rust is writing weekly “Ask easy questions here” threads on the rust subreddit. One thing that recently occurred to me is that most of the questions asked may hint at a...
Some Slight Improvements 04 August 2018 Hi there! I’m back! Today I want to talk about two Rust PRs I recently wrote. The PRs in question are #52942 and #52997. Both are relatively small changes to Rust’s internally used data structures tha...
Llogiq on stuff 18 May 2018 A few weeks ago, I set out to convert bytecount’s benchmarks to criterion, a statistics-driven benchmarking framework started by Jorge Aparicio and maintained by Brook Heisler. Before, bytecount used bencher for...
A Shifty Riddle 11 April 2018 When I finally implemented opportunistic mutations in mutagen, everything seemed fine until my co-maintainer gnieto found a problem. Code failed to compile with the mutagen plugin, something that should never h...
Under Cover 25 March 2018 Any mutation testing tool worth its salt uses coverage to restrict the number of tests to run. mutagen is no exception, of course, so once we had a test runner, we wanted to extend it with coverage-based testing. N...
Pattern Boldness 13 March 2018 At the moment, mutagen only considers top-level idents in function arguments (e.g.foo(x: X, y: Y)), but function arguments are actually patterns, so we could have foo((x, y): (X, Y)) or bar(Bar { bla, bazz } :...
Llogiq on stuff 15 March 2018 mutagen until recently suffered a bug that rendered both the return input and the interchange arguments mutation inapplicable. To explain, the former mutation compares each input type with the return type and a...
Opportunistic Mutations 03 March 2018 As you may know, my current mutagen project deals with mutation testing in Rust. However, as I remarked, Rust’s famed flexibility leaves us little room to do mutations while keeping the type checker hap...
Llogiq on stuff 14 February 2018 It’s been a while since I last suggested Mutation Testing in Rust, almost two years ago. Since then I got sidetracked a lot, and later lost interest. Just one more cool project I couldn’t afford to take on....
Llogiq on stuff 09 January 2018 In the spirit of the current Rust blog post extravaganza, here are my 2¢ on the most important work to make Rust win big: Language We’re on a very good way here, what’s needed is stabilizing the things alread...
