Misusing Const for Fn and Profit

Rust has a secret world that is inaccessible in most other languages. We call this shadowy land “Compile Time”, and you can do things with it that you might not realise…

This is a deep-dive into const, macros, zero-cost abstractions, safety and how to offload huge amounts of computation from runtime to compiletime.
