once again I fucking hate dtolnay for blocking reflection in rust so that his macro work doesn't become obsolete

@[email protected] alright, this is very validating and I appreciate it, hah. People bang on about how great serde is and yeaaaah it's certainly the tool in use, isn't it, but. is it great? It fills a niche but does that mean it's good.

@[email protected] fuck it, gonna create a makefile for my project that calls a bash script that generates rust code through extensive use of
sedthen calls cargo.

... or am I. -
@aud
very welcome. we're glad that our thirty years studying the theory and practice of parsing is good for a real problem, which is to say an emotional problem

@[email protected] Rust's macros are also rather limited; for instance, you want to do something like, say, I dunno, copy trait/fields from one struct to another? Guess what: no, not without substantial duplication of effort. You can't create a macro that includes a different struct/etc that you're calling this from. So now you're stuck with boilerplate code, except it's handwritten in your macro function (which, whatever, fine, I guess) except now it's not type checked because it cannot be.

@[email protected] I have so many emotions about programming and practices and the people involved : D

@aud @jonny @ireneista would like it if our choice of mongers were a bit wider than war fish and cheese

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] gonna start monging some peace and love. fuckers beware.

@aud @ireneista also awk is probably more useful for code generation, the rapist defending crypto guy has an assembler in awk
