Rust 1.0 alpha is pretty exciting for @skylight. I can't wait for more fellow HLL compatriots to embrace their inner systems programmer!

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Does Rust have "type inference" like C# and Scala? -
@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight That's a shame. Automatic generalization in SML, OCaml, Haskell and F# is very useful. -
@jonharrop@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight I don't understand either. Aren't these solved problems? -
@jordwalke@jonharrop@missingfaktor@skylight Which specific problem?

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight The reverse function here is pretty cringeworthy. http://rustbyexample.com/tuples.html -
@jonharrop@missingfaktor@skylight I don't get your definition of "cringeworthy" (as a dyed-in-the-wool Rubyist!) -
@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Why is it so long? What's wrong with let swap(a,b) = (b,a)?

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Looks like Rust doesn't provide tail call elimination. That'll make functional programming hard. -
@jonharrop@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight it's not guaranteed. Now that LLVM has grown, we may be able to add it. -
@steveklabnik@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Destructors will impede tail calls unless you do something clever. -
@jonharrop@steveklabnik@missingfaktor cleverness is the name of the game! -
@wycats@steveklabnik@missingfaktor Yes, there is a lot of potential to do new stuff that may well prove useful here.

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Is there a REPL for Rust?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight Looks like Rust has variant types and pattern matching which is good. And might run natively on Arduino...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@wycats@missingfaktor@skylight I meant why would they be interested in Rust. I've just read about it and it looks like the new D.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
