Thank you for not just reading the notes and actually showing all of the details of each item. It really helps digest all of this.

This clarifies the 10% of the changelog I didn't understand, thanks for the video!

I'm very curious about the gdb stuff. Idk much about custom gdb pretty-printers but I had this exact need 2 months ago when wanting to inspect a syntax tree from the "rowan" library from within GDB. The opaqueness and use of unsafe of this structure made it pretty much impossible to inspect.

I may try to implement a pretty printer for them actually, as an exercise. They may be interested in a PR.

4:54 excuse the nitpicking, while the term ‘flatten’ is probably understood after you’ve shown the code example, I believe it is misleading.
I suggest ‘substituted at compile time’, or if you want a single word (though probably make everyone scratches their head but is useful if you want to keep notes short and concise) ‘beta-reduced’

I have to say, you've become my favorite, hence only creator I watch for Rust updates. You just put those updates better than other creators out there. Keep up the good work, I'm pretty sure you can only go up from here.

Some feedback, when using Youtube's closed captions, they often cover some of the text you are trying to show on-screen such as at 9:25. If you leave some padding to the bottom of your video, this doesn't happen as often.

7:55 So is it already possible to implement a trait like this yourself?
Even if it's not, this basically allows implementing many things for arbitrary sized tuples if you can convert it into an array.

[mitepainera]

Do you guys know similar channel but with javascript/react new things and documentation being read and implemented

[alfiedotwtf]

I don't know...although nice, I'd expect everything should be inherited from the workspace by default, but you have have the facility to None it out or override

[Kuratius]

Call me when Rust is actually stable enough to recompile its own standard library with LTO without an unstable compiler.

[irlshrek]

i think i understood like 10% of this haha

[peculiar-coding-endeavours]

Great summary of the new features. As a European, this "US style" of narrating stuff, the tone of it, is EXTREEEMELY annoying :-D

[CGFUN]

i thought you are talking about rust the game! the algorithm is wrong.

[DMSBrian]

This video gave me impostor syndrome xD

[swikarsharma]

any version updates on rust foundation stupidity?
