news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-15 15:53:42

Key Points After finalising the purchase of a home in Melbourne's northern suburbs, a Melbourne man found something unexpected. There had been no mention of the expansive model train network beneath the home's floors. Coincidentally, new owner Daniel Xu is a keen train enthusiast and engineer. As any new homeowner will know, there are always unknown things to be found in a new place. From a kitchen cupboard that never seems to close properly, a curiously painted over area or the real per

Rust CLIs with Clap

news.ycombinator.com Arizona-Based Software Architect 2025-09-15 17:25:07

Types Define Interfaces Types are important. In fact, I'd guess that the expressive type system in rust is the single biggest reason why so many developers love the language. Types allow us to have a contract between parts of the system about our data and how to interact with it. All programming languages have the concept of types, but these exist along several dimensions. Strongly typed vs weakly typed as well as static vs dynamic typing. Rust stakes out its place as a statically, strongly typ
