What are some good resources for experienced programmers new to Rust to learn about lifetimes?
Hands down the best resource (after you've had sufficient experience with Rust, especially so) - https://github.com/pretzelhammer/rust-blog/blob/master/posts/common-rust-lifetime-misconceptions.md
-
How can a parameter type `T` be not long living enough?
I really really recommend reading this to understand lifetimes and generics in Rust better.
- What learning resource has had the greatest impact in elevating your understanding and knowledge of Rust?
- I do not understand why Sized bound prevents a trait from being used as a trait object.
-
Lifetime annotations: why doesn't Rust?
It's already now that the elided lifetimes are not always correct, as pointed out in Common Rust Lifetime Misconceptions (No 5) by pretzelhammer.

Resources on Lifetimes
Probably a bit more advanced than what you asked about, but still possibly useful: Common Rust Lifetime Misconceptions by /u/pretzelhammer.

Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues
-
The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
Would be interesting to see a a Debian derivative that combines this with the Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils.[1] Could be a big win for memory safety and performance.
- New Version of the Rust Coreutils
- best software for linux
-
Looking for a small boring rust project to help my learning.
uutils /coreutils is also a great project. It has many contributors, and it also is a great resource to learn.

I have years of experience in vulnerability analysis including several 0-day discovery, and this bug [buffer overflow] seems totally safe.
Already did it. Checkmate, as i believe your people say.

[Media] My Rust OS for microcontrollers now has a dir command
There is already a rust implementation of coreutiils that uses a single binary like BusyBox or toybox. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
- Tree(1) in Zig

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.
What are some alternatives?
