<p>A thing I<br />c o n s t a n t l y<br />wish for when using Rust, is the ability to type an instance of an enum such that the instance is restricted to one particular variant or a specific subset of variants</p>

<p>Does Rust have anything like a Java/ Objective-C "weak reference"? I.E. I mean</p><p>1. One Owner<br />2. Many Rc<T> type references, except<br />3. If the Owner ever Drops the true object, all Rc<T> type references become instantly aware of this, and the "weak" references can both be checked for liveness and also cleanly panic if they are accessed after the drop dead date</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@rcombs" class="u-url mention">@<span>rcombs</span></a></span> you can target those who already are inclined to be in that group, and then once their environment skews more that direction they're gonna be retained better exactly because of how alienating it is; some will pull in fresh blood</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@rcombs" class="u-url mention">@<span>rcombs</span></a></span> i think if you recruit from rat communities it won't be that bad, plus in general engineers skew right already</p><p>it will be worse, but i'd be surprised if it will get more than twice as bad</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/@rcombs" class="u-url mention">@<span>rcombs</span></a></span> I know/knew some and I don't think they make choices as rationally as you presume, from conversations</p><p>I think there will for sure be attrition (how many are on H1Bs alone?) but I wouldn't expect a drastic change necessarily</p>
