Crate of the Week

This week's crate is marser, a parser combinator library with a twist.

Thanks to Arne Code for the self-suggestion!

Please submit your suggestions and votes for next week!

Calls for Testing

An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization.

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear in this list, add a call-for-testing label to your RFC along with a comment providing testing instructions and/or guidance on which aspect(s) of the feature need testing.

No calls for testing were issued this week by Rust, Cargo, Rustup or Rust language RFCs.

Let us know if you would like your feature to be tracked as a part of this list.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

This week we had quite a lot of changes, a few small regressions that were a bit tough to diagnose, but the week is largely positive, overall. Notably, we got one massive improvement on the next-solver benchmark in #156187, and a nice speedup for incremental in #157781.

Triage done by @panstromek. Revision range: f3ef3bd8..b5d46ecb

Summary:

1 Regression, 4 Improvements, 8 Mixed; 5 of them in rollups 28 artifact comparisons made in total
