it’s possible to work around the “bounds with different associated types are not considered disjoint” limitation by using a helper trait

thanks to Marin Veršić, author of the disjoint_impls crate for publishing this trick!

rust-lang/rust issue

oh, and also I published this one trick as a crate: https://github.com/GoldsteinE/dyngo

implicit use of a trait we’re currently implementing leaks through a module
bonus points to anyone who finds any related documentation (please tell me in the comments if you do!)

you can access the return type of a macro by unifying it with some variable
playground

postmono const expression conditions
note that you’d also need to do a similar check for alignment, which is omitted for brevity
UPD: as @arjentix pointed out, this will also only work in cargo build/cargo test; the check will be skipped in cargo check
playground

a bit late to the party, but couldn’t pass this one
method resolution depends on compiler’s mutable internal state, which you can observe by calling a method on an integer literal

Rust issue (two Zulip threads linked inside)
CI failures for naive fix

it compiles.
playground

you can have unnameable traits with accessible methods

my fix for this problem was merged and will be stable in rustc 1.81, unless something goes wrong

match match is legal and can be occasionally useful

- real-world example from rust-analyzer
- people even do if if sometimes

thanks to @LennyLizowzskiy for suggesting this!

a slightly more fun slash cursed variation on a standard “enum-instead-of-bool” trick

don’t use booleans — an explanation on why would you even want that

thanks to @Ddystopia_0 for inspiring this one!

parsing sequences (like dates or version strings) by matching on part index

1.80 now warns on #[cfg(skip)], so here’s a workaround

wrote down some thoughts about error handling, specifically a pattern that I call “progress pattern” (probably it has another name somewhere, but I’m not aware of it)

thanks to @meowaffle for reviewing this!

(btw, are y’all ok with breaking the format like this sometimes?)

check out the crate btw, it’s really cool

yay it’s stable!

mixed-site hygiene might be surprising
