The new episode of "Scientific computing: a #rustlang adventure" is out: https://www.lpalmieri.com/posts/2019-03-12-scientific-computing-a-rust-adventure-part-1-zero-cost-abstractions/ …
This time we touch zero-cost abstractions, using generics and traits to generalise what we showed for vectors in the opening post :)
I used the terminology from the quote because it's the one I encounter more often "in the wild", but I hope my explanation of the expression was clear enough to avoid magical thinking - we definitely do not want that.
Writing about stuff to learn how it works, mostly in Rust.
