In theory, could the Rust compiler automatically infer lifetimes in every situation?

    The Lobster Programming Language

  • In theory yes, but it would likely need whole-program analysis. There's a language called Lobster that does this IIRC. The downside of this approach is that compile times will increase as the project size increases, which could result in long (or on case of Rust even longer) compile times.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
