RustConf 2016 - RFC: In Order to Form a More Perfect `union` by Josh Triplet

RustConf 2016 - RFC: In Order to Form a More Perfect `union` by Josh Triplet Users of Rust for systems programming rely heavily on its exceptional support for FFI. Many systems APIs involve unions, and macros and transmute produced unmaintainable solutions. 16 months, 3 RFCs, and a half-dozen possible syntaxes later, RFC1444 added union to the Rust language, ready for implementation. This talk will present unions as a case study of the Rust RFC process, show the kinds of iterative refinements that take pla
