The impl period
This is it! The impl period has drawn to a close. We’ve come together as a community to do a truly epic amount of work in three months time.
If you were involved in the impl period, either as a WG lead or a contributor, please consider blogging about your experience. The program has been such a success in both mentoring and overall productivity that we will almost certainly want to do something similar in the future — so your feedback is very valuable, and talking about your experiences can help give others confidence that they can take on hard problems with the Rust community’s help.
Highlights
- There’s now a tracking issue showing the status of most major language changes slated for the next epoch.
- A new release candidate for
log0.4was released! -
lazy_static1.0was released! - Non-lexical lifetimes: two-phase-borrows landed; PR #46862 wraps everything up into a
#![feature(nll)]and will hopefully land soon. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/milestone/42
Shoutouts
WG-compiler-nll
- NLL support is approaching “code complete”. Once PR #46862 lands, we will have support for
#![feature(nll)]which can be used to start experimenting.- thanks to @spastorino, @Nashenas88, and @nikomatsakis
-
@pnkfelix landed support for “two-phase borrows”, which enable nested method calls like
self.push(self.len()) - @davidtwco landed improved error message support
-
@yoric has a pending PR that improves support for
&mutreference variables that are overwritten (e.g., when iterating down a linked list) - @mikhael-m1 continues to work on improving support for slice patterns
- @arielb1 did a large amount of cleanup and consolidation, as well as fixing some critical bugs
WG-compiler-middle
-
@cramertj has made numerous improvements to
impl Trait, closing a number of critical ICEs. We are aiming to achieve the “stabilization ready” subset quite soon. - @sunjay pushed further on generic associated types, implementing name and lifetime resolution.
- @gaurikholkar landed a PR with partial support for one of the lints in the in-band lifetimes proposal.
- @mikeyhew continues to push on support for methods with arbitrary self types
WG-compiler-front
- @pietroalbini landed support for nested import groups
WG-compiler-errors
-
@zackmdavis improved diagnostics around
