Description

@brson

As the language stabilizes we need a little more PR. We should highlight the interesting things going on in the community.

    Here are some suggestions for an initial report---

    • marijn's work on breakable for loops
    • tjc's work on classes
    • pcwalton's work on regions, in particular the shootout benchmark
    • brson's work on event loops
    • not sure what else...those are the things I saw when I started going over the commit logs but I didn't get all the way through.

    I started writing about for loops and ended up with a whole post: http://brson.github.com/rust/2012/04/05/new-for-loops/. I didn't publish it widely but I did post a link on /r/rust.

    niko and I discussed that maybe we should just keep a list of topics that are worth blogging about.

    Here's another:

    • how to use rustdoc

    • bindgen
    • rust-mustache
    • The opengl bindings
    • erickt's new time APIs
    • pfox's new uv APIs

    Thanks for doing this. I'll try to contribute a few too.

    This is excellent, thanks! For the future, would it be possible to add the ability to subscribe via RSS, and perhaps also add commenting facilities?

    I especially think it's important to have commenting facilities on these posts in order to address concerns about language decisions in a timely manner. For instance, the Hacker News discussion ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3806152 ) has a few comments that would perhaps be best clarified by a developer.

    I added an RSS link on my blog. Will do comments over the weekend.

    platform thread
    any of pcwalton’s crazy stuff
    rust’s cryptographic core + discussion of implementing hash tables

    bors seems to be a pretty unique integration bot. could be worth talking about

    Hah, didn't know there was an issue open about this. You even stole my name from me with a time machine! I think this can be closed.
