Hey rust - check it out. Compile time evaluation without macros, isn’t that neat?

Not even close

TIL compile time evaluation without macros is not compile time evaluation without macros. Thank you for the insight.

That’s nothing compared to what Constexpr and other c++ features let you do. The conditional compilation example for instance.

Zig has shown the true power of constexpr in being able to provide a powerful construct that generalizes well.

After sum types (and pattern matching), constexpr is the next great language feature that will be everywhere soon.

I would love for Rust to fully adopt constexpr.

Ssssh...the HN Rust Brigade will hear you
