Cleaned up an old git repo of Ansible playbooks and it's amazing how much is just Docker now. Docker handles process supervision, centralises logging, and containers coexist without issues. It's nice when things get simpler.

I'm a big fan of segmented stacks (or 'split stacks'), where stack frames are heap allocated, You can write recursive functions with less worry, and you get better tracebacks than TCO. Go is the most popular language with this feature, to my knowledge: https://dave.cheney.net/2013/06/02/why-is-a-goroutines-stack-infinite I'd assumed that LLVM didn't support this, but gollvm handles it fine! https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/ivOZ-j6Zt2c/m/BUBX2Td9BgAJ

My understanding of Rust Foundation and Rust Project has definitely improved following today's talk. Rust Foundation: Handles financial, legal and bureaucratic stuff. Requires a supermajority of votes from both sponsors and the Rust Project. Rust Project: Focuses on building.
