The Chrome browser on Android, Linux and ChromeOS now does all its web font processing using a Rust-based library (Skrifa) instead of its old C++ library (FreeType).

This is part of a general trend. If you look at open jobs by programming language required, Rust is now #7 (up from #10 last time I looked). C++ and C# are declining drastically, Python, SQL, Java, and JavaScript/TypeScript are the top 5 and all growing rapidly. (Golang is #6, and also growing similarly to Rust.)

The compiler is a bit dumb like that sometimes :)

Though, I'm mostly here to tell you about .cloned().

I just saw your post, and I think that's exactly, what map(|x| *x) is trying to do ^^

There is no exact translation of the word "petty" to german, but if I were to explain the meaning of it to someone, I would simply show them this article. Good one Raph ^ ^

It has been quite some time since I have been so excited about finding a blog post:

I just can't understand, why they have left in ++i and i++ operations, when designing #carbon

@davy

I sincerely wanted to make a theme once based on the Burger King pallet. It's just a nice combination of colours. :)

This however made me wince

@ewasem Also super frustrating to learn git multiple times. It's complicated as it is.
In another timeline, lab coats are the standard coding attire, and I think we've fucked up the moment we diverged from that reality.
