Fun fact: if you have a big list of IP address ranges (like, say, a GeoIP database), and you need to perform lookups in #Rust, you can, using a build script, turn it into Rust match patterns!

Then you can include!() that Rust snippet into your program.

This will turn it into a compile-time lookup table, which should be extremely fast at run time because the program will not spend any time loading or parsing a database.

But of course you have to recompile to update the database…

I'm officially employed again! Starting on Labor day (join a union!) I'll be a member of @rustnl's maintainers team

I'll be maintaining the Rust compiler, working on Rust tooling, and ensuring that the Rust community stays wonderful and welcoming!

Thanks #rust, now #nomadnet for #OpenBSD i386 it's broken.

Do you truly care about #legacy users? Really?
If I were you I'd rewrite the whole #nomadnet+reticulum
in Goland, at least it would work just as fine
and with free GC from the start. And for sure
it would have been more portable.

Apart from the new #Gnome effort, there also is an interesting experiment of a #Rust terminal-client with #Ratatui -- for others to start from should they feel they need some enjoyable distraction :)

#Chatmail clients typically use the Rust core library which provides all networking, cryptography, persistence, real-time networking, mail relay/server interop. Documentation to help with writing clients is scattered, but at least there are plenty examples to learn from.
