My personal list of Rust grievances (September 2021)

September 2022:

This has spread to a far wider audience than I had anticipated - probably my fault for using a title that is in hindsight catnip for link aggregators. I wrote this back in 2021 just as a bunch of personal thoughts of my experiences using Rust over the years (not always well thought through), and don't intend on trying to push them further, outside of personal experiments and projects.

Managing a living language is challenging and difficult work, and I am grateful for all the hard work that the Rust community and contributors put in given the difficult constraints they work within. Many of the things I listed below are not new, and there's been plenty of difficult discussions about many of them over the years, and some are being worked on or postponed, or rejected for various good reasons. For more thoughts, please see my comment below.

How does async work in async-std?

(Phaiax - 2019/12/1 - CC_BY_SA 4.0)

Lately I was porting a software from tokio/futures-1.0 to async-await. I somehow thought async-std was the successor of tokio and ported everything to async-std. 80% in, I noticed that my hyper dependency requires tokio and that it's not possible to replace tokio with async-std without also replacing hyper. Also, tokio and async-std try to solve the same problem. So I started a journey into the inners of the rust async story to find out if it is possible to use both tokio and async-std at the same time. (tl;dr: it is). I had heard of reactors and executors before, but there was much new stuff to discover.

acid state antirecommendation

Someone asked whether or not acid-state was production ready. I shared my experiences:

parsonsmatt [11:32 AM] @nikolap it's used by cardano-wallet and Hackage. Based on my experience with acid-state, I'd say it is not a good choice for production data storage. For local desktop apps, SQLite is a much better choice, and for real production apps, Postgresql is king.

parsonsmatt [11:44 AM] acid-state did not have a test suite, at all, until I implemented the very first tests (for TemplateHaskell code generation) earlier this year. It has picked up some tests since then, but I'm still not confident in it's correctness.

It claims to be resilient to unplugging the power cord, but I doubt that, as it's not resilient to Ctrl-C: acid-state/acid-state#79

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
