Yes. And they should love if they decide to try it!

I'm really starting to appreciate that the into_parts/into_raw_parts idiom (and the from_parts/from_raw_parts converses) addresses a lot of the downsides of data access/visibility control without giving up the data abstraction that's needed for functional correctness and/or memory safety of abstract data types. It would be nice if they were more universally implemented, but I guess the biggest concern is semver.

Thanks for the explanation! I have been using rust for a bit and didn't know about these nightly features, glad to know of them now! I guess I have not had the need for more raw memory access that these seem to enable.

What is your use case, if I may ask?

@pervognsen
From your bio I think I see why 😍

"Performance, compilers, hardware, mathematics, computer science.

I've worked in or adjacent to the video game industry for most of my career."

Happen to have some OSS examples of things you are working on? Always looking to learn from lower level experts 😃
