A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

My biggest issue with Rust (given that I've barely used it) is how it looks. This looks like somehow taking some of the worst C++ syntax (excluding macros) and adding even more ugly syntax.

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

This seems purposefully made to look uglier. A few imports take out a lot of the noise. Its also very generic code. If you’re a library developer you will be much more exposed to gnarly types. If you are just building stuff its way nicer.

Tricks with polynomials and Riemann-Roch spaces. Breaking into the platonic realm to pillage forbidden abstractions. Starknet grantee.

This looks very much like standard library implementation code or low-level data structure library code:

1. The generic const parameter `N` for fixed-size data structures
2. Working directly with `MaybeUninit<T>` which is typically used for unsafe/low-level memory management
3. The complex iterator transformations and lifetimes
4. The `PhantomData` marker, which is often needed for complex generic types to satisfy the type system
5. The very generic type parameters probably means this is a foundational data structure
