Given how well-established cloudflare is, I would've figured they'd be profitable by now. That raises the question: why does so much of the web rely on a company which does not have the means to sustain itself?

given how much of the population relies on Uber for their transportation… ;)

Not to be confused with `vscodium` which is an open source build of vscode

Yeah definitely confused it with vscodium, thx

The small cyrillic letters in the rust example are oddly appealing to my eye. Kinda like smallcaps in a latin script

That works well until the following doesn't compile

int x = 1 — 2;

  #define — -

fixes that issue for C.

I really like rust's pattern matching and it's the feature I miss the most in other languages. However, I feel like its easy to encode too much control flow in one match statement and make a garbled mess. The first example in the article uses all the features (destructuring, @ sigil, inline if, etc.) which I think makes it unreadable.

Overall good article, but those large match statements are difficult to read.

The first pattern-matching language I used was Erlang. I generally like Rust's just as much, but Erlang/Elixir's binary-matching syntax was awesome and is sorely missed:

I really like the pen plotting art made by Adam Fuhrer. It was posted here a while back. https://adamfuhrer.com/pen-plotting

Wow! Those are really cool! Thanks.
