The ICE issue is what turned me off Rust.

I went all-in for side projects like you (this is how I typically learn a language), but after two months or so, I was spending 30-60 minutes a day trying to figure out the cause of compiler crashes, and then tweak my code so it didn't trigger them.

I've heard the ICEs have gotten much better in 1.2 (I was working in 1.0), but I haven't picked it up again.

To you or anyone else who reads this, if you find an ICE, please report it or :+1: a previous report. It can be hard to tell which ones hit a lot of people, and which ones don't.

Would it be possible to add an optional crashpad-like script, one that allows you to review the data sibmitted in hex/ascii before sending it off?

We've been discussing it, not just for crashes, but even compiler errors. But it's all in the 'wild dreaming' kind of phase, there's privacy concerns, and you'd want such a thing to be VERY opt-in. But it's a cool idea.

1.2 is so much better with ICE-s than 1.0.
