Terts Diepraam 🔜 RustWeek

We're already making cursed Rust scripts at Rust in Paris!

#rust #rustinparis

I'll be at Rust In Paris tomorrow! 🥐

Come up and talk to me about RustWeek, Roto, DNS and NLnet Labs!

#rustweek #rust #roto @nlnetlabs@social.nlnetlabs.nl

New blog post!

I've been investigating out how various languages get away with not requiring semicolons.

I looked at 11 languages and found so many interesting cases I had to share!

We just migrated Roto to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de!

You can find the new repo here: https://codeberg.org/NLnetLabs/roto

And read the announcement here: https://community.nlnetlabs.nl/t/roto-has-moved-to-codeberg/79/1.

We'll migrate more projects soon!

General rule: if Arya is excited, it's gonna get crazy (in a very good way).

RE: @rustnl@fosstodon.org

I love the idea of this talk so much! Practical lessons from a cool project, what more do you want?

New!

Remember that we already have a great, friendly, inclusive, LLM-less browser engine project in the Rust community: https://servo.org/

It's been 0 days since a website rejected a password for being too long.

Guess that's still better than the occasional website that truncates the password when you create an account.

I like the word "ASCIIbetical"

Rust's signed remainder functions will panic on `iN::MIN % -1` due to "implementation artifacts" even though it could return `0`. Does anyone here know what those implementation artifacts are?

We need to pick a behaviour for Roto! Help us out with your opinions!

It's been a day of many docs fixes and error message improvements for Roto! I'm quite proud of this one. Even if the implementation is simple, this should help people get started with the language! Of course, the Rust compiler is a big inspiration for these kinds of errors.

We just released Roto 0.6.0!

Roto is the JIT compiled, strongly-typed, embedded scripting language for Rust used by Rotonda.

This release features many fixes, quality of life improvements and - as a little treat - an assignment operator! Check it out here:

Small thread on recent developments with Roto!

To recap, Roto is the statically-typed compiled scripting language for #rustlang we're working on at @nlnetlabs@fosstodon.org.

We got a great reaction to our blog post[1], with a lot of interesting thoughts and feedback. Thank you all! I'm also happy the post made it to This Week In Rust[2]
