i've been using 2021 edition of rust up until now because i only now realized that i need to run rustup update occasionally :-)

i was wondering for months shouldn't 2024 be out and why i'm stuck with 2021 edition lol.

rust starts to be mature enough that probably once next version is debian is out i start to use distro toolchain (if kernel requires newer my [buildroot](https://codeberg.org/jarkko/linux-tpmdd-test) shenanigans will provide me a toolchain :-) ), which is like where any native language should evolve.

this is what i do with python i.e., work in the limits of distribution packaged stuff. it makes software translate more easily and your upstream is in a way always ready for packaging.

improvements with less confusing lifetimes for async is definitely a thing for me. i've been doing about 2.5-5 k line systemd daemon for a lttile while and there's a few places where i need to weird shit for compiler. i'm only now learning 2024 features but this was that i was hoping for. in some (luckily rare) cases it is not really about not grabbing borrow check, lifetimes or whatever. i need to check if i simplify some locations :-)
