C++20 introduced the Concepts library and the corresponding language extensions to template metaprogramming. This post will be a brief introduction to the topic for people already well versed in C++ templates.

For whatever reason, the
alpine-glibcproject is apparently being used in production. Worse yet, some are led to believe that Alpine officially supports or at least approves of its usage. For the reasons I am about to outline, we don’t.

Using async Rust libraries is usually easy. It's just like using normal Rust code, with a little
asyncor.awaithere and there. But writing your own async libraries can be hard. The first time I tried this, I got really confused by arcane, esoteric syntax likeT: ?UnpinandPin<&mut Self>. I had never seen these types before, and I didn't understand what they were doing. Now that I understand them, I've written the explainer I wish I could have read back then. In this post, we're gonna learn
- What Futures are
- What self-referential types are
- Why they were unsafe
- How Pin/Unpin made them safe
- Using Pin/Unpin to write tricky nested futures
