[I]nstead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.
cargo gained a new feature this week! You can now download dependencies from alternative registries, alongside the dependencies you download from crates.io. This is an important step in enabling organizations to distribute their internal libraries through cargo without requiring them to upload those libraries to a public registry. This feature will be available on nightly only, and it is gated behind the alternative-registries feature gate. We’ve used feature gates to iterate on new and unstable features in rustc since the 1.
An implementation of Crev as a command line tool integrated with cargo. This tool helps Rust users evaluate the quality and trustworthiness of their package dependencies.
When looking for a new backend language, I naturally went from Python to the new cool kid: Go. But after only one week of Go, I realised that Go was only half of a progress. Better suited to my needs than Python, but too far away from the developer experience I was enjoying when doing Elm in the frontend. So I gave Rust a try.
