I've just noticed the recent LLM-policy drama surrounding Rust, and to be honest, it's put me off learning and using it. I'll stop working on my Learning Rust series and focus on Zig or C instead. At least Zig has a strict anti-LLM policy in place.

I should have started with Zig... Now, I'm really angry with myself for wasting weeks writing and learning about it 😠

Any community in which this is an acceptable thing to say is beyond repair.

@jwz I am so glad I had already decided not to use #RustLang for other reasons.

FerroCrypt started a few years ago as a small hobby project. The new version has been rewritten from the ground up and feels much more mature: a pure Rust library, CLI, and desktop app for local-only file & folder encryption, with passphrase and X25519 key-pair modes, `.fcr` files, streaming, and hardened extraction.

@Athena topic locked because discussions got too heated.

You don't say. The degree of ignorance behind that "moderation" [cough] dictat is quite something and brings the whole project and the language itself into disrepute.

The only person who deserves a ban for this is the one who wrote that and those who stood by.

#LLMs can cause harm to humans and it mustn't be discussed in relation to #Rustlang #LLM policy. What tripe.

For the love of my two chihuahuas, the reaction I'm seeing to the RFC LLM policy (tl;dr: disclose if used for anything, don't use it to generate code or docs) is peak Twitter-style shit storm.
Sloperators don't like that it doesn't let them push crap out, people who dislike LLMs hate that it doesn't have a more forceful stance of replacing the whole text with "no LLM allowed". And some members of both camps have decided to heap abuse on people earnestly trying to herd cats in a thankless RFC process that is draining at the best of times.

Ahh... Bevy project takes several minutes to compile,not loaded a single asset yet. Made all the compile configurations from "Getting Started".

The Bun rewrite is an unmitigated disaster. They'll have to rollback the merge and start over with whatever is left of the project.

A 1am YouTube recommendation lead me down a rabbit hole of creating my own DSL for modeling Pokémon battles in #Rust o.o

Describing Pokémon game mechanics as a Domain Specific Language is kind of satisfying...
