Rust Just Failed an Important Test


have two Rust projects I maintain. The first is a parser for the EDN Data Format.

It's not that deep an error and I resolved it by pinning a higher version of the time library, but it still sucks. To me, whether code will "just work" into the future is an important property of a language and ecosystem. Maybe I had inflated expectations because of Rust editions, and maybe I'm being too harsh, but I now have this feeling of unease that I didn't before.
