I have been programming in Rust for about 8 years now. I love the language. But I feel I have some confessions I must make.
-
I don't know if I use tabs or spaces in my final code. I just assume that it all get solved correctly by cargo fmt.
I don't even understand that people have been arguing about this for real? I vaguely remember this being important in C and C++, but I am hoping I never go back to those dark days.
-
I never do linebreaks, not even when adding my semicolons. I hit ":w" and if shit doesn't move around on my screen, I fucked up somewhere.
-
The only lifetime I ever use is '_, 'a or 'static otherwise I give up
-
Wtf is the 'de lifetime in serde deserialize??
-
Rocket is the best web server
-
I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it's not better, and I argue that it is.
Okay, got that of my chest. Never dared telling anyone this before. Feels scary
Just allow people to bring their own IDs to servers. Self sovereign IDs, or SSI for short.
Blockchain has a usecase here, and it would be for disabling your ID in case of privkey leak, or for having people or entities strengthen or verify your pubkey or tie a hash of your birth certificate to it.
Blockchains are great for providing reliable immutable and verifiable timestamps of data. The reason they are safe is because a lot of people have tied actual value to it, and thus most don't want to invalidate the blockchain and destroy their value.
