Also, if you want to join us on the developer discord to discuss things, I'd be quite happy to do so tomorrow.

Please do, and file an issue, we've managed to resolve all the proxy-related issues recently with 1.18.0 so hopefully it won't be too hard for us to fix stuff for you too.

does it still not work with rustup 1.18? We had a lot of work done on reqwest for that release.
(thanks @jogbert for the cc)

once lifetimes twig, they're amazing. As for the others, I guess you'll get used to the syntax eventually
option, result, match - all ready for me because of some haskell in my background. Lifetimes were a pig to fully grok

I had something like that with BJTs too - I now double-triple-quadruple-check my parts :D I'm sure it'll still happen again

Yep, I've filed github.com/kinnison/git-test⦠in honour of this conversation :D
Also I like the idea of using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for the situation of "not in git" -- I haven't considered that case at all yet.

I think the main thing I should do is add some nice methods to the main struct to give you common information from the commit info enum rather than all users having to write the same matches.

oooh yes, I should see if there're features in `rbtag` which I'd like in `git_testament` -- choice is a good thing :D
Wow, since I released rustup 1.18.0 I've actually had people look at and try crates.io/crates/git-testame⦠which I really wasn't expecting.
Here's hoping I get some good feature requests and/or bug reports :D
(#unexpected @rustlang community engagement FTW)

But where does "backend" start and/or finish? Also "frontend" ? Does that include browser developers?
it's such an awful term.

We often hear the words "Full Stack" bandied around when referring to a developer's skills. But what does it really mean to you?
For me, "Full Stack" says someone's capable of working from the schematics of a computer, through to something like a web-UI, and everything between.

I'm very pleased to report that Rustup (the @rustlang toolchain manager) version 1.18.0 has been released.
Various tweaks and bug fixes there, plus a nice speedup in installation on Windows.
Thank you to everyone involved in the release.
Changelog here: github.com/rust-lang/rustup.β¦

Preparing a new release of rustup is still a bit scary. Here's hoping the @rustlang community will be as forgiving if I fluff it a second time :D
