Rust 1.23.0 Released, Community Urged To Blog Ideas For 2018 Roadmap (rust-lang.org)
An anonymous reader quotes the official Rust blog:
The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.23.0... New year, new Rust! For our first improvement today, we now avoid some unnecessary copies in certain situations. We've seen memory usage of using rustc to drop 5-10% with this change; it may be different with your programs...
The documentation team has been on a long journey to move rustdoc to use CommonMark. Previously, rustdoc never guaranteed which markdown rendering engine it used, but we're finally committing to CommonMark. As part of this release, we render the documentation with our previous renderer, Hoedown, but also render it with a CommonMark compliant renderer, and warn if there are any differences.
A few new APIs were also stabilized in this release -- see the complete release notes here -- and you no longer need to import the trait AsciiExt to provide ASCII-related functionality on u8, char, [u8], and str.
The Rust blog made another announcement earlier this week. "As open source software becomes more and more ubiquitous and popular, the Rust team is interested in exploring new and innovative ways to solicit community feedback and participation." So while defining Rust's roadmap for 2018, "we'd like to try something new in addition to the RFC process: a call for community blog posts for ideas of what the goals should be."

You are mistaken gentlefluid/sir/thing - the "conduct code" is used by the stupid, useless feminist weirdos they hire to fart around on GitHub, pretending to be a developer, but actually just going around finding tiny verbal minutia like "misgendered pronouns" and diverting attention to that instead of doing Real Engineering Involving Actual Technology.
Rust is -- like many modern "fields" -- just a vehicle. A crutch for every hypersensitive piece of shit that wants the prestige of "doing engineering" without any of the critical thinking it entails. Like calling yourself an "astronaut" but what you do is spend all day reading NASA documents and complaining to the director that a certain passage used the word "him" instead of "her", and then patting yourself on the back for helping "to make Astronauting Safer for everyone".
That's Rust.
