Sometimes I'd like it if Rust would allow you to make a struct constructor unsafe instead of having to wrap it in a module to make it private while exposing an unsafe constructor function and re-exporting the type. That alternative adds a lot of noise.

Figured I'd give lowering const generic parameters another try in rust-analyzer: github.com/rust-lang/ru... Turns out that was a mistake, I have now come to the realization that I'll have to rewrite pretty much all of our definition IRs (an absolutely massive refactor of an unknown size to me)

This year is gonna pretty substantial for rust-analyzer I believe. We (and with that I mainly mean @davidbarsky.com) are closing in on migrating to the new iteration of github.com/salsa-rs/sal... which will hopefully allow us to improve performance, memory usage and implement a couple of wanted

rust-analyzer now has some basic* parameter variance inferrence and it shows it on hover! *basic as in it can't handle cyclic dependencies yet for temporary implementation reasons, it also struggles with usages within const arguments.

I once again demand `std::ops::Not` to be part of the prelude, postfix `.not()` is superior to prefix `!`

In half a week I get to look at the results of what 4 weeks of ignoring rust-analyzer looks like! Excited to see my notification backlog.
