Rust claims to advance industrial programming by bridging the gap between low-level systems programming and high-level application programming. At the heart of the argument that this enables programmers to build more reliable and efficient software is the borrow checker - a novel approach to ownership that aims to balance type system expressivity with usability. And yet, to date there is no core type system that captures Rust's notion of ownership and borrowing, and hence no foundation for research on Rust to build upon. In this work, we set out to capture the essence of this model of ownership by developing a type systems account of Rust's borrow checker. We present Oxide, a formalized programming language close to source-level Rust (but with fully-annotated types). This presentation takes a new view of lifetimes as an approximation of the provenances of references, and our type system is able to automatically compute this information through a substructural typing judgment. We provide the first syntactic proof of type safety for borrow checking using progress and preservation. Oxide is a simpler formulation of borrow checking - including recent features such as non-lexical lifetimes - that we hope researchers will be able to use as the basis for work on Rust.

Whether it is revenue, customer experience, or operational efficiency, big data has allowed businesses to achieve unprecedented growth. However, companies need data engineers, technical data experts, and programmers to make sense of large volumes of unstructured data. Businesses need to hire professionals who can write codes to process and analyze data to get any actionable […]The post How No-Code Tools are Making Big Data Accessible to All appeared first on ReadWrite.

Miley Cyrus’ new single “Flowers” received an immensely enthusiastic showing of support from radio programmers. The song earns the most added honor at pop, hot adult contemporary, and rhythmic radio. Picked up by 174 Mediabase-monitored pop stations, “Flowers” convincingly tops this week’s add board.

With Apple’s recent announcement that they are moving away from Intel X86 CPU’s to their own ARM CPU’s for future laptops and desktops I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the some differences that can affect systems programmers working in Rust.

Coding is not just for engineers and computer programmers anymore the pace of technology and its growing ubiquity mean that even non-tech roles will require workers to have some degree of knowledge to do their jobs in the future. Today a company called Sololearn — which has built a popular m…

In one of probably many dissections of CD Projekt Red’s missteps in making Cyberpunk 2077, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier just published a piece investigating the game’s development. As the article explains, despite being announced in 2012, the company was still focused on The Witcher 3 and “full development” didn’t begin until 2016 when CD Projekt Red “hit the reset button.” Add in COVID-related restrictions during the last stretch of development, where programmers mostly played development builds of the game at home on PC, far away from testers on console who could see the game's issues.
