  • That's a legitimate thing to do if you have a slow implementation that's easy to verify and a fast implementation that isn't.

  • Ignore the reasonable comments that say you are more than ready.

    The next step is obviously learning Haskell, specifically sum types (like rusts enums), lists (lazy, like rusts iterators) and classes (like rusts traits).Then you will think, "if only there was a language that was a mix of C and Haskell" and that's rust.

  • And since it's a function with one argument we can interpret the exponent to mean repeated application.xm³=x(1 meter)(1 meter)(1 meter)xm³=x(1 meter)³ It all checks out.

  • Having done a few weeks of highly repetitive work, the worst was when I had to bundle items in groups of 10. I couldn't think a thought more complex, that repeating song lyrics to myself. When I got a few hours feeding a machine that counted for itself, it was liberating.

  • Why is Rust so bare-bones?

  • You can design a language where you don't need to generate code to accomplish this.

    Other people have python scripts generate C, so having on in the same codebase and language is certainly an improvement.

    My question isn't why this is necessary in Rust. My question is why Rust was designed such that this was necessary.

    Because otherwise the compiler team either also needs to maintain a huge amount libraries or cut corners and move things to runtime that really should happen at compile time.

    Someone mentioned elsewhere that this allows for compile-time type safety. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that works.

    printf is a great example. According to the C type system, it takes a string and a variable amount of untyped arguments dependent on the content of the string, but that doesn't actually describe the allowed arguments.Misusing printf like this printf("%s", 42); will get you a warning, but only because there is a special case for printf in the compiler. If you have your own function that does the same as printf, and you misuse the same way, you will find out by dissecting the core dump.

    In rust the format string gets parsed at compile time by a macro, which decides the type of each arguments that can than be checked by the compiler. Imagine printf("%s %d",...) created a function with the signature specialized_printf(char* agr0, int arg1), it would be impossible to pass the wrong types of arguments.

    Now that these tools exist people have gone further and made a library that checks SQL queries against the shema of a running database and causes a compile error if it doesn't fit.
