The iterative nature of art
👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.
“Some people don’t understand the iterative nature of art, design and game design.”
“Instead, they try to reach the final version on the first try and get frustrated when it’s not as good as they thought.”
“Aim for the best you can, but know that you will have to iterate, work on it again. Know that it’ll get better on the next step!”
— Dominique Ferland, aka @Dom2D

Proc macro support in rust-analyzer for nightly rustc versions
I don’t mean to complain. Doing software engineering for a living is a situation of extreme privilege. But there’s something to be said about how alienating it can be at times.
Once, just once, I want to be able to answer someone’s “what are you working on?” question with “see that house? it wasn’t there last year. I built that”.
Instead for now, I have to answer with: “well you see… support for proc macros was broken in rust-analyzer for folks who used a nightly rustc toolchain, due to incompatibilities in the bridge (which is an unstable interface in the first place), and it’s bound to stay broken for the foreseeable future, not specifically because of technical challenges, but mostly because of human and organizational challenges, and I think I’ve found a way forward that will benefit everyone.”
