add nll-by-default blog post #989
Conversation
NLL is finally going to be used by default! I'd like to highlight this achievement and in particular the hard work of a bunch of people. It also gives us a chance to hype up polonius and educate people a bit about some of the limitations of the existing borrow checker.

I've been holding off on updating this as we await the fate of rust-lang/rust#98095 (fix pending in rust-lang/rust#98109). It'd be a shame to post this triumphant blog post and then have to pull out the code :) |

@nikomatsakis or @jackh726 -- would one of you have the time to polish this post up so we can merge it sometime in the next couple weeks? We'd like to link to it from the main 1.63 release blog post, which will be posted August 11th -- I'd like to get this ready to go by August 3rd so there's some buffer in between them :) |

I'll polish it up later this evening. |
|
@jackh726 Did you get a chance to take a look here? |

@Mark-Simulacrum Should be good now. I added a bit of text to springboard the user to learning about NLL, if they so choose. |

Thanks! I think we can publish this tomorrow (ideally) or Friday - I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow, along with bumping the date. |
