Rust 1.91 Promotes Windows On 64-bit ARM To Tier-1 Status

([Programming] 4 Hours Ago Rust 1.91 Released)


The Rust project announced today the release of Rust 1.91 as the latest update to this popular programming language priding itself on memory safety capabilities.

Most notable with Rust 1.91 is now promoting aarch64-pc-windows-msvc to a Tier-1 platform status. This takes the Windows on ARM support by the Rust programming language to the highest support tier inline with other common operating systems and architectures. Rust 1.91 with Tier-1 for Windows on 64-bit ARM/AArch64 also means pre-built binaries are also available for new releases.

Rust 1.91 meanwhile also promotes the aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm and x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm ports to Tier-2 status with host tools.

Rust 1.91 also now lints against dangling raw pointers from local variables plus stabilizes a number of different Rust APIs.

Bluescreen Computer Case
US$27.97 at Bud's Beige Box Bazaar

Real Geeks may not admit to using Windows, but there's still countless geeks
out there who must suffer through the humiliation of using Windows while at
work. The patent-not-pending Bluescreen Case, though, will ease the stress of
working with Microsoft "solutions".

This computer case is very similar to other beige boxes, but with one
important difference: the reboot button is covered with a picture of Bill
Gates. When the machine bluescreens for the millionth time, all you have to do
is punch Bill Gates in the face as hard as you can, and the computer will
restart. This provides invaluable therapeutic stress relief.
