I thought lobsters was a place that didn’t chase after “HN frontpage material”?
That said, bugfixes like these in compilers always make me feel uneasy. I know that GCC has scores of bugs fixed in every release yet still… At least, Nim is not having a long list of what looks to me (because I still haven’t tried learning Rust seeing how it keeps changing) as a serious list of compatibility breakage (Ctrl+F for “Compatibility Notes”) in Rust (serious, in my opinion, is anything larger than 1 issue every 2 years or so for a language that reached 1.0, and for a good reason).
40 commits? Not really lobsters material…
It depends on the importance of the commits, doesn’t it?
I mean, you could say the log4j vuln patch was “just one commit”…
This is my criteria; I would be hesitant to submit just a bugfix release like this. I’d prefer to go after something more substanstial.
