Let's dive right into our main story because there's some really elegant work happening here. The biggest architectural win comes from Trevor Gross with PR 151900 - and this one's a masterclass in code organization. They've completely restructured the core numeric module, separating the public API from all those…
Speaking of satisfying cleanup, Zalathar had a productive day with multiple PRs landing. The most interesting one removes those temporary assert_matches re-exports from rustc_data_structures. Now that the bootstrap compiler has been bumped to version 1.95, they can finally import assert_matches directly from std…
