What Hacker News says
7 sourcesI've used Rust a bit, but not enough to know the details of how cargo and crates.io approach managing collected information.
There seems to be an open issue and WIP PR with more details:
Issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/955
PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/pull/919/file...
The cargo manifest also supports things like:
The publish field (optional)
The publish field can be used to prevent a package from
being published to a package registry (like crates.io) by mistake,
for instance to keep a package private in a company.
[package]
# ...
publish = false
But I would be curious if someone more knowledgeable than myself would be interested in giving a quick summary of the approach?
In Go 1.13 Release NotesI would, but then the linked FAQ is outdated (in fact, the 1.20 version[0] indicates it moved to the website), and I don't think having a redirect that points to the prev website would work. According to [1], the presence of an FAQ on the website is an unresolved question.

I was wondering if it is just me or does anyone struggle to read this text?
Its a legitimate issue and I know I can't change the rust designer's mind by asking them nicely.
I looked through the github issues for the same and apparently they just close the issues relating to design changes without consideration: https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/issues/468#issuecomment-443150282
@steveklabnik: Please, atleast make it legible. It looks like some designer took it upon their ego to reject any design feedback, as I have noticed in the earlier discussions. Not a good impression for an open source project.
I am sorry for coming across as rude but wanted to bring more attention to it here.

One of the best things about rust is it's community and it's willingness to change and find better ways to do things.

In A new look for rust-lang.orgWe hired a designer. We're not frontend devs, but do have people who have some experience with this.

Some of this is stuff we know, and are tweaking. As the blog post about this says, this is a beta, and we have a lot more work to do. For example, the calendar thing: it's temporary. It's not trivial to style. There's been zero optimization work, which is a lot of what your comment is about. We didn't want to invest in that until we got the big picture stuff down.
