h2. Conduct

* Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude.
* Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.
* Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you want to experiment with, follow the language-change process (see below). Noisy debate just impedes progress.
* We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behaviour.
* Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behaviour.

How to share a folder with a docker container on OSX

Mounting shared folders between OSX and the docker container is tricky due to the intermediate boot2docker VM. You can't use the usual docker -v option as the docker server knows nothing about the OSX filesystem - it can only mount folders from the boot2docker filesystem. Fortunately, you can work around this using SSHFS.

Uncovered note on my desk from conversation about rust's state in rustboot era:

"""
Obstacles:

  - bad closures
  - bad object model
  - generics / monomorphization
  - x64 port / x86-isms
  - stack growth (doubling vs. chaining)
