I've been doing async stuff with Javascript promises and I hate it. I don't hate the asynchronous nature of it all, in fact I like that part. I hate that writing it feels like perpetually compounding workarounds to things I used to know how to do in the language.
@lifning the opengraph protocol most widely used for link preview metadata even supports this out-of-the-box. Any compliant parser should already be capable of this 🧐 http://ogp.me/#array

Hi everyone! My #rust bindings to platform-specific UI toolkits, which enable #crossplatform #ui #programming with ease in #rustlang, have hit a big milestone: 0.3.0!
I've posted about it on my #Patreon ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/19426962 ), but if you prefer something with a little less JavaScript you can check out the post on my blog: https://leotindall.com/post/improved-user-interface-0.3.0/
I consider IUI to be moving in a really good direction, and if you find it useful, please consider contributing to my Patreon.
for some unknowable reason I decided to read a few chapters on ARM Assembly and watch some videos on it and I think Assembly has been forever de-mystified for me.
This gives me hope that I might actually learn enough 6502 Assembly to finish my ever-on-hold C64 project.

@gid that’s basically my position as well. I still do what I can in rust but my ambitions to build tools completely out of rust has to be sidelined until a few more crates hit 1.0.0
@gid yeah it’s always kinda tough to find that sweet spot, especially for using multiple crates that are <1.0.0 release. Hopefully this gets less painful as the crates mature.
In the mean time I’m actually using glue code w/ PHP to handle my HTTP/2 stuff 🤢
@gid whoops, forgive me for not seeing your earlier reply, hadn’t refreshed my masto client and didn’t see that you had, indeed, already done that. Doh!
