Today I learnt about the NonNull<T> type in Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/core/ptr/struct.NonNull.html
It's a *mut T that is never null. Rust is trusting you even more than a normal *mut T, which is slightly daunting.

Today I learnt about clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr, which complains about t.clone() on a Rc<Thing>. You write Rc::clone(t) instead, so it's obvious it's a cheap clone.
It's a nice approach, because it makes the expensive clones more obvious.

Rust and RISC-V both feel like they've reached critical mass and I'd guess that they'll be used more in 5 years than they are today.
What other technologies fit this description?

Today I learnt about "bypass charging", a phone feature where it can run directly off the mains without using the battery at all. No battery charging, less heat, less battery wear. Nifty.
