Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?

Rust implementation of the Meta-II meta compiler. I used bstr, which was interesting.
Never used bstr. What was interesting about it?
Well, Rust has a lot of string flavors, and I like utf-8 being the norm, but there are a bunch of cases where enforcing utf-8 is a nuisance, so getting string features without the aggro enforcement is nice.
There’s probably some fruity way to make this a security issue, but I care about ascii printables and not caring about anything else. This is a nice trade off: the technical parts are en-US utf-8, the rest is very liberal.
