On: Why AWS loves Rust, and how we’d like to help

I think the parent commenter meant as a selectable runtime at deployment time (i.e. directly supported), rather than requiring the bring-your-own-runtime setup that is currently required.

[JoshTriplett → bjohnso5]

I'm not sure how meaningful that would be. Selectable runtimes make a huge amount of sense for interpreted languages or languages with a runtime. Rust is compiled to a binary. There are libraries that make it easy to set up a Lambda runtime, and guides for deploying that runtime; beyond that, a Lambda runtime is "run this program, leave it running, answer requests", and I don't know how standardized that could easily become with a compiled language that doesn't need a runtime or interpreter.

Your subheading text "Build and publish instantly your projects online" reads a little strangely to me. I'd recommend re-wording that to "Build and instantly publish your projects online".

Looks neat, though!

[jwdunne → bjohnso5]

I reckon "Build online. Publish instantly" has a nice ring to it.

[swlkr → bjohnso5]

How about "Instantly build and publish your projects online" ?

[ummonk → bjohnso5]

Or better yet, "Build your projects and instantly publish them online", for ease of parsing.

[benatkin → ummonk]

How about "Build your projects online and publish them instantly"?

[artf → bjohnso5]

Thanks to everyone for the advice, what do you think about "Build your projects and publish them instantly online"?

I feel like it was created just to make this sentence possible. Love it!

Thanks, appreciate the updated link

Title is a bit misleading, should be more like "Pinterest announces intent to open-source Teletraan, a tool for code deployments"

EDIT: Xeroday helpfully pointed out that there IS a link to code in another blog post in the same series.

Last year Sean Le Van said he was 13, this year he's 14. Which is it, Sean?!

On: SolidOak, an IDE written in Rust

[bjohnso5]

I think that's debatable... with the currently humongous list of available plugins and it's project-focused interface, I don't think it's much of a stretch at this point to identify it as a lightweight IDE.

I think it's generally abbreviated that way because it's phrased "Shit Outta Luck"
