Imagine if every time you checked a #Rust Result for an error, you did that by making a cute kitty sound

This is what’s coming and I’m not even kidding

I've been developing a MQTT GUI client called MQTTy (the name is not very original but I needed the word MQTT in it). That will help me and hopefully help others, to develop, test and debug their IoT applications that utilizes the MQTT protocol.

It's written in Rust, completely free software, licensed under the terms of GPL 3.0 or later versions.

Currently the app does not hit the MVP stage, so there is a lot of work to do to reach it.

Memory safety for web fonts: Skrifa is written in Rust, and created as a replacement for FreeType to make font processing in Chrome secure for all users. Skifra takes advantage of Rust's memory safety, and lets us iterate faster on font technology improvements in Chrome. Moving from FreeType to Skrifa allows Google to be both agile and fearless when making changes to our font code. developer.chrome.com/blog/memo Does anyone know how Firefox handles web fonts security?

I kind of with #Rust #RustLang canonical formatting would put a space after the boolean not operator (!). In other words:

if ! filename.exists() {...}

instead of

if !filename.exists() {...}

This would make the negation a little easier to spot.

I don't wish this hard enough to even check if it's been discussed, never mind make a formal proposal. I'm just waiting for my test run to finish.
