FWIW, in the UK unemployment is also very low at the moment.

I was under the impression that must of Rust's compile time comes down to LLVM

Swift tooling is surprisingly bad especially when It's made by a trillion dollar company. Rust's free rust-analyzer extension provides much faster and much more feature filled IDE features than XCode.

You can do this in Rust today, with the standard library's reference counter

The lint is on by default in the latest version of the compiler

Rust has a lint against this kind of attack + you can explicitly disable non-ASCII identifiers if you really want to

Housing in your area might get vastly more expensive, but housing somewhere else might not see the same price increase. The CPI is for the entire country

Because people like meat? I like meat. I don't like what happens to the animal though. I don't think it gets that much more complicated than that

Last I checked, studies on the issue of social media and mental health are pretty mixed and inconclusive. But it is a popular belief regardless

I was thinking of following the book but with Bevy. How do you replace bracket-lib?

Bevy, while an ECS based library, can easily be used to program a game in a more traditional way (excuse my formatting):
struct Player { health: Health, }
// ECS style
fn update_player(query: Query<&mut Player>) {
}
// Traditional "OOP" style
impl Component for Player {
fn update() {
}

Thanks for educating me. I am affected by recency bias

Interesting perspective. FWIW a lot of modern languages now have put the types on the left for a good reason, it's a lot easier to parse. Plus for a reader, at least in Rust, wherever you see a `:` you know that a type is coming after. For the other stuff, I don't know, I got used to it pretty quickly. Not that much of a big deal in my opinion
I think this is an unfair characterisation. Many farmers in the UK _want_ to build solar installations on their fields as it is a fantastic way to get guaranteed income while keeping other land for agriculture. Additionally, you can graze animals with solar panels. And also the solar panel installations are usually temporary (land is leased for x amount of years), they can be removed and used as farmland after.
> how much space all these battery and solar farms
Chris Hewett, head of Solar Energy UK says this:
"We need less than half a percent of UK land, for a fully decarbonised energy grid. That is the amount of land we use for golf courses – and less than we use for airports."
