Engineering at Ello

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

I’ll be on the first @RustNationUK next month in London. Super excited to meet other rustaceans in person and of course to learn more about this wonderful language.

[Rust Nation UK 🦀 @RustNationUK]

Rust Nation will be a celebration of the @rustlang programming language and ecosystem. The UK #rustaceans are ready to welcome you all to this seminal event. 🦀🦀💂‍♂️💂‍♀️ check out the details at

@CatalinVoss There is so much going on on a single session on Ello, it’s really incredible how everything clicks together to bring the best tutor to life

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@CatalinVoss If Ello is a cool teacher of course it needs a cool stack, 4 models, 1 teacher 😎

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@EA @Steam Where is B&W 1 and 2?

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev There is no variadic generic afaik
I meant template generation as in a program that spills out c# code.

You could also adapt your api.
Maybe use a fluent api instead(builder) where you just chain the add functions

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

I kinda wish #golang had a syntax sugar to automate error handling

Maybe err?.handleErr()!

Where ? Just checks if err is nil then handleErr() is a method you make for this kind of err handling

! Would be a shorthand for adding return on next line

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev They don’t really do :p just Rust and Go afaik

Just saying it seems to be the best way to handle this problem.
Hopefully zig has something similar

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev You can sort of get away with it by doing versions, rust does it as well go afaik.

As long you got some file describing what “version”you should use so it drop retro compatibility and enables new features / syntax.

IMO is the best way forward

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev Although I would say some languages do mature well. I think C# is a good example of this, although it has grown in complexity, the syntax got considerably easier now, even calling constructors got simplified.

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev I'm pretty sure all languages started with simplicity in mind and eventually their weakness started to pop up.

C++ was just C with classes before they came up with all the C++11 stuff

@SavantOfficial One man's trash, another one treasure

@AzziStardust No UK é bem comum Christmas pudding ou toffee pudding, mas eu gosto mais do chocolate Yule log

@system76 Cross platform

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@SebAaltonen Even slack could launch instantly if they tried.

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@_Felipe @ThePrimeagen NeoVimsualStudio Code of course

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@AzziStardust @NaomiRomeroArt Esse sorriso safado

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@srodrigoDev Meanwhile every other company is trying to come up with a model of their own, so I expect them to be more conservative at a first glance in order to retain users. But you are right we barely even scratched the surface of its capabilities

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@TylerGlaiel This whole AI discussion reminds me of a Star Trek episode where AI automated everything in a human life and eventually it broke down, but everyone was so dependent on it for decades that nobody knew anymore how to do simple tasks without it. I’m still surprised with that show.

Why do I keep getting ads for horse race betting on Twitter? That’s the most random thing to advertise to me.

[Thiago Leão @ThiagoGameDev]

@AzziStardust If you want to see seagulls and crows screaming at you and stealing pizza and fries from random people at beach 24/7 just come over to Edinburgh
