Marijn Haverbeke explores abandoned pre-1.0 Rust features like typestate and garbage collection, explaining why they were dropped.
This talk will describe a number of language concepts and features that were in the pre-1.0 Rust language at some point but were ultimately abandoned, such as typestate, garbage collection, structural types, and a more or less classical object system. I’ll go over the reasons they were abandoned, and try to convince you that the Rust we have now is the best Rust yet. --- For more go to rustfest.eu or follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/rustfestWhy it's here
