Every day I thank whoever that ESR hasn't set his sights on the Rust community. I really feel for the Go community today, they have a toxic malingerer stepping in.

I'm sure @rjek could come up with some exim ACLs for our mail frontends.

What are pointers, really? I will demonstrate by feeding my cat.

github.com/rust-lang/rustup/β¦ might be a nice light one to get started with. It mostly involves improving an error message and perhaps the code which raises it. If that interests you then say so on the issue and we'll start the process. If not, say here and I'll look for another.

I'll have a skim through the issues I've marked as being prepared to mentor and see if I can find a nice one for you

Can we trust #opensource when it matters?
We've been working to build confidence in #FOSS in critical settings over the last few years.
Read about our 2018 study with BMW safety expert Lukas Bulwahn, looking at a key aspect of #linux kernel behaviour:

Google wrote a style guide on writing inclusive documentation:
developers.google.com/style/β¦
It's a good doc but seems like giving up "sanity check" and "crazy" will/would be hard. I'll at least think about it a bit more when I use those terms, though.

In 2014, after being named Teacher of the Year, my supervisor told me if I said I was gay in public I would be "shot in the head."
I was told I would be fired if I did not bring her all of my private mail from home to read. (more)

Several of you have asked me for a Crust of Rust on smart pointers (Arc/Rc/Deref) and interior mutability (RefCell/Mutex/Cell) in @rustlang, and I think it's about time. Let's do a stream on Wednesday at 8:30p UTC (everytimezone.com/?t=5ee95d0β¦) as usual. Come one come all! πΊπ¦

Yeah, I can understand that. Go's management of memory makes it a lot easier to grok things which Rust often requires you make explicit. If you have any specific questions or want to have a chat to grok any Rust, let me know, I'm happy to help.

And I bet, after a while with Go, it hurt to get it there :D The learning 'curve' with Rust can be a tad sharp.
