Stop Making Me Memorize The Borrow Checker

I started learning Rust about 3 or 4 years ago. I am now knee-deep in several very complex Rust projects that keep slamming into the limitations of the Rust compiler. One of the most common and obnoxious problems is hitting a situation the borrow-checker can’t deal with and realizing that I need to completely re-arc...

Values of certain Rust types need to be pinned, which prevents them from moving in memory. This is expressed via the std::pin::Pin wrapper type and is typically encountered in the form of a function accepting Pin<&mut T> instead of &mut T. Pinning makes using many “normal” programming techniques difficult and has st...

April 16, 2024 A lot of my formal specification projects involve concurrent or distributed system. That's in the sweet spot of "difficult to get right" and "severe costs to getting it wrong" that leads to people spending time and money on writing specifications. Given its relevance to my job, I spend an awful lot of...

Yes, here at Old VCR we live in the past, when RISC Unix workstations still ruled the earth like large boxy tentaculous Cthulhus. Oh, sure, if you wanted a modern equivalent you could just buy a Raptor POWER9 like the one I'm typing on now. But around here even PowerPC is too pedestrian of an architecture. We need s...

[Making a quick post about this and I can write more in response to comments, but just wanted to share something from an experiment I did over the past couple weeks. I’ll do a writeup or video discussing more of this soon along with my C workflow generally.] I wrote a borrow checker for C that uses libclang. You can see an example test...

For example, we may want to track the price of various goods, as they change with time. Many other tasks could be reduced to this problem...
