stateful beingmore ughhhh. been trying to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/refactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#refactor</a> the code which renders all this stuff for *ages*i want it as free-standing single-purpose functions, so i can test each one of them more easilyhowever, i keep running into my reluctance to write code of the sort:``` fn foo <'a, A, B, C, D> (a: A, b: B, c: C, d: D) -> impl Content + use<'a, A, B, C, D> where A: impl Content, B: impl (Fn()->A) + Send + Sync, C: impl Content, D: impl (Fn()->C)+Send+Sync { ...```

Ted M. YoungTDD is a great _technique_ for guiding you and helping you discover unclear code or designs that could be improved, but you, the developer, have to not only pay attention, you also have to know how to <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Refactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Refactor</a> and know what better design is so you can refactor in that direction.

Jan :rust: :ferris:Many people say that <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a> is very hard to <a href="https://floss.social/tags/prototype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#prototype</a> with or to <a href="https://floss.social/tags/refactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#refactor</a>. This couldn't be further from the truth! It is the exact opposite!Let me share with you one of the most profound experiences I had with <a href="https://floss.social/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> on a casual sunday - a thread 🧵 I'm currently rewriting my <a href="https://floss.social/tags/transpiler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transpiler</a> from <a href="https://floss.social/tags/nom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nom</a> to <a href="https://floss.social/tags/chumsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chumsky</a> and until now everything has turned out great so far, until I've hit the following road block: Implementing parsers by using <a href="https://floss.social/tags/parser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parser</a> functions that have indirect <a href="https://floss.social/tags/recursion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recursion</a>.1/11

From the first workshop we learnt that people could uncover the clear design from the clear code. Equivalents to wikipedia discussions could be: - commit comments (I experimented with a pre-commit hook that forced eg. '<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/test" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#test</a>' '<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/refactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#refactor</a>' etc. prefixes. it shows a kind of trail in git log --oneline of the kind of work and gives a feel for the cadence) - Architecture Decision Records in the code base / repository 1/2 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ADR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADR</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/stigmergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stigmergy</a>
