I’m a software engineer, and I’ve been working on the Rust compiler for about two years.
Discription
I’d like to talk about what it’s like to work on a large codebase with very few tests.
I’ll start by saying that this is not an attempt at “humblebragging.” It’s just me talking about my experience in hopes of giving you some insight into how things are done here at Mozilla. If you’re interested in learning more (or even contributing!), check out our wiki page or come chat with us in #rust-internals .
The Rust compiler has over 400k lines of source code, but only around 8k lines of unit tests. This seems crazy
