I don't understand why this never type was introduced at all. Instead functions not returning, shouldn't Rust enforce returning from function and instead use a None in place of never type? Otherwise how will the "Unwinding" of program flow implemented?

Can't wait for the never type to be stable :D

Yes, like living together, sometimes even with kids, I don't think that's dating, but I'm so 1984 in that, yeah

so people who are dating aren’t dating?
sounds like some “going steady” bs that i’ll have no part of.
“oh we’re dating but we’re not dating dating”
people are so afraid of using their vocabulary they just add new definitions to words….
just like George Orwell warned against

I mean it more in the way it depends on what you qualify as dating, I would even say that not every pair of people who are not married yet but are dating can be called dating

we really don’t need to qualify everything with some… i didn’t say all married people do anything….
there’s really nothing that all married people do.

I guess, it depends

married people still date each other

OP used the original title. Author of article has since updated it. If you read the comments on the article itself you can see evidence of this.

Let’s be a little more attentive and not jump to conclusions. ;)

I long for the day I can cargo build and cargo run the linux kernel.

Downvoted for clickbait headline editing, which was actually:

The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

Let's be a little less breathless and a little more considered. please.

Mike: rachel and i are no longer dating

rachel: mike that's a horrible way of telling people we're married

TL&DR: Rust is officially adopted, and thus no longer experimental.

It's actually a mistake done in a hurry, according to a comment by the author of the post below.

lwn is a paid subscription site, they don't need clickbait... it's simply a joke

FUCKEN YAAAAAASSS!

The headline is bit too clickbaity.

Concluded might have been a better term for them to use. It means effectively the same thing but implies the natural expected end rather than potentially some other reason for ending (such as Linus pitching a fit and yanking it early).

It's good to see it's doing well enough to be considered a success despite some of the interpersonal drama around it.

It's better than click baity it's technically correct (the best kind of correct).

The experiment has ended! Rust in the kernel isn't experimental anymore!

I knew it would be this. There was no other way, as it would be too sudden. Still little bit clickbaity, but I let it pass, because this is not a YouTube video or blog post for clicks and advertisement money.

The CEO of Socket is this guy. I'm not sure that someone with those credentials would be heading a company engaged in what basically amounts to racketeering. Though, I suppose he might be unaware it's happening. The company has many investors, any of who would benefit from creating an environment that supports the company's existence without the awareness of any of the employees. But it's clear this isn't some scam operation run by desperate people out of India, which was my first thought from reading your comment. There are reputable people with their reputations at stake. It would be a Theranos-level scandal if what you say was actually determined to be occurring. So, on the one hand, there are reputations at stake, and, on the other hand, Silicon Valley is not incapable of committing fraud.

I didn't. And I was specifically referring to the published "analysis".

How do we know the supposedly malicious content (which hasn't provably affected a single person) a security company finds, didn't originate from that same company?

• Crates NO ONE uses or ever used.
• "with over 7,000 all-time downloads" immediately mentioned to make it sound like the above is not the case.
• Our "AI" found a malicious base64 (wow, very fancy)!
• Muh supply chain!
• bla bla China bla bla

It all sounds like a joke, and a lazily written one at that (Edit for fairness: the ctor part was a nice touch tbf).

And this is not limited to this analysis, or this company, or the Rust ecosystem. The era of CVE logos and all that theater can become rather tiring, and AI slop took the silliness to a whole other level. Or as our friend Daniel puts it, it's a "Death by a thousand slops".

Sadly, the developers of these apps can't even be bothered to not dump random folders into $HOME. 🤷

Or bubblewrap. Though that requires more effort than "a bit of time" to do comprehensive isilation..

If you use Linux, this is a good reminder to spend a bit of time learning AppArmor / SELinux. rustc / cargo and processes spawned by them shouldn't have access to your entire $HOME.
