mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Software engineer at @nlnetlabs@fosstodon.org. Co-organiser of RustWeek. Posts might contain bad jokes.
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!
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!
New!
Remember that we already have a great, friendly, inclusive, LLM-less browser engine project in the Rust community: https://servo.org/
We're already making cursed Rust scripts at Rust in Paris!
I'll be at Rust In Paris tomorrow! 🥐
Come up and talk to me about RustWeek, Roto, DNS and NLnet Labs!
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.
#rustweek is on the horizon...
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?

General rule: if Arya is excited, it's gonna get crazy (in a very good way).
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.
I love the idea of this talk so much! Practical lessons from a cool project, what more do you want?
I like the word "ASCIIbetical"

We need to pick a behaviour for Roto! Help us out with your opinions!
Hey look! RustWeek's schedule appeared! And you can click on all the talks and see their abstract and speaker bio!
