  • Why do lifetimes need to be leaky?
    6 projects | /r/rust | 8 Dec 2023
    Correctness prover which uses lifetimes (Polonius).
  • Databases are the endgame for data-oriented design
    5 projects | /r/rust | 6 Dec 2023
    And, well, polonius (Rust borrow checker magic) I believe is built on datalog-ish concepts: https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius
  • Why doesn't rust-analyzer reuse infrastructures of rustc?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 5 Apr 2023
    There is also polonius (https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius) which should replace the borrow checker but does not receive a lot of development resources.
  • Rust front-end merged in GCC trunk

    This is eventually going to be a feature-complete compiler, targeting a specific rustc version. I believe the plan is to use polonius [1], presumably as an "optional" feature so they can build a stage 1 without it, use that to build polonius, then build the final compiler with it included.

  • Blog post: Rust in 2023

    E.g. there you may just stop using current borrow-checker and switch to Polonius.
  • What are Rust’s biggest weaknesses?
    7 projects | /r/rust | 17 Nov 2022
    The borrow checker is too dumb (https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius) fixes a lot of this.
  • Datafrog: A lightweight Datalog engine in Rust
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Nov 2022
    It looks like an official borrow checker implementation called Polonius uses it as a dependency, so it makes sense: https://github.com/rust-lang/polonius/blob/981785c101b68ff54...
  • Differential Datalog: a programming language for incremental computation
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Nov 2022
    If you click around a little, you end up on a blog post with this tidbit:

    > This project got put together rather suddenly, in response to some work the Rust folks are doing[1] on their new and improved borrow checker.

    I don't think I could tell you more than "Frank wrote it to help rust folks who were previously doing work with differential-dataflow directly."

  • Generic associated types to be stable in Rust 1.65
    3 projects | /r/programming | 28 Oct 2022
    Good news is that there's also works going on to relax the restrictions, like polonius. But it seems that it still have a long way to go before it can land in stable Rust...
  • Rust for Linux officially merged
    7 projects | /r/programming | 4 Oct 2022
    GCC-rs isn't intended for bootstrapping, it is intended to be an actual fully featured Rust compiler in the future, mrustc is a Rust compiler intended for bootstrapping though. GCC-rs is still very early targeting an older version of the reference compiler without things like a borrow checker, but that's not going to be the case forever. The GCC-rs folks have expressed interest in re-using the borrow checker library used by the reference compiler called polonius enabling them to relatively easily add borrow checking.
