Fixing our own problems in the Rust compiler

In our data compression projects, we use Rust where C is traditionally used. During the work, we've hit limitations in Rust itself and in the surrounding tooling. Over the years, we've become increasingly comfortable with fixing these issues ourselves. […]

🚀 Ah, the classic tale of a tech giant trying to outsmart Rust's infamous error messages with #AI wizardry 🙄. Instead of fixing your code, you'll get blocked faster than a Microsoft product update breaks your workflow 💥. But hey, at least you can blame it on "several reasons" 🧐🔧.

RustAssistant: Using LLMs to Fix Compilation Errors in Rust Code - Microsoft Research

The Rust programming language, with its safety guarantees, has established itself as a viable choice for low-level systems programming language over the traditional, unsafe alternatives like C/C++. These guarantees come from a strong ownership-based type system, as well as primitive support for features like closures, pattern matching, etc., that make the code more concise and […]

Ah, yes, the "Linux Kernel Defence Map"—because what we really needed was a #conspiracy #board 🕵️‍♂️ for code #vulnerabilities. Instead of solving issues, let's just draw pretty lines between problems and call it a day! 🌐💥
