Notes

Rust lets us represent State Machines in a fairly good way. In an ideal situation we'd be able to make enums with restricted transitions between variants, but that's not the case. Instead, we can harness the power of generics and the ownership system to create something expressive, safe, and understandable.

It’s really wonderful to start exploring a project and see familiar patterns and styles which you’ve already used before. It makes it easier to understand the project, and empowers you to start working on the project faster.\nSometimes you’re working on a new project and realize that you need to do something in the same way as you did in another project. This thing might not be a functionality or a library, it might not be something which you can encode into some clever macro or small crate. Instead, it may be simply a pattern, or a structural concept which addresses a problem nicely.\nOne interesting pattern that is commonly applied to problems is that of the ‘State Machine’. Let’s take some time to consider what exactly we mean when we say that, and why they’re interesting.", "image": "https://hoverbear.org/processed_images/cover.2cb61383b53a179a.jpg", "title": "Pretty State Machine Patterns in Rust", "url": "https://hoverbear.org/blog/rust-state-machine-pattern/", "feed": "https://hoverbear.org/rss.xml", "failed": true, "failedAt": 1728192844752, "failedError": "TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 10000 milliseconds", "cached": true, "cachedAt": 1728192857717 }
