That makes sense, thanks again! I think dynamic dispatch is not as much of a performance issue in my case, yet you’re totally right not to waste resources that aren’t actually needed. Keeping things on the stack if possible is also a good thing.

I’ll definitely need to read more about Rusts type system but your explanation was already very helpful! I think this might be why my initial approach felt unnatural - it works but is quite cumbersome and with generics there seems to be a more elegant approach.

Thanks for your input! I’ll have a look at both build flags and macros for sure! For my specific problem enums will do just fine I guess, but having an overview about the possibilities helps a lot!

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know generic functions were preferred. But it makes perfect sense if you think about it.

Thanks for the explanation! I think just using an enum will do perfectly well in my case.

Beware they started charging for the database tools even if you own an all-products license (the plugin was included in the EAP version).

IntelliJ still has it bundled iirc.

I don’t see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.

And it once again shows why federated social media rocks 😎
