Zig, the Small Language

Re:Zig, the Small Language by TakeBlaster16 on Wednesday September 07, 2022 @02:17PM (#32754139)

Oops I didn't explain clearly. Take this code:

  pub fn abc() -> usize {
      #[allow(deprecated)]
      "abc".len()
  }

I want it to complain about the "allow", because there was never any deprecated warning emitted in the first place. Maybe it would be called #[expect(deprecated)]

I refactor code all the time and find these stray "allow"s that aren't doing anything anymore

Both this and the reply saying you should open an RFC worry me that it was tongue-in-cheek.

Or maybe it's the obvious name choice, heh, because it literally exists with that very syntax: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&editi...

Not stable yet, as you can see, but all the RFC and implementation work has been done, and a stabilization report was even put forward back in July: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54503#issuecomment-...

That's hilarious, I had no idea! I'm glad I didn't embarrass myself by proposing an RFC. Thanks for the links!

This would be really cool! you should open up a RFC for it.

Ah, yeah that would be cool. Sorry for misunderstanding!
