Update intro.md #347

Closed clearydude closed 2 years ago

clearydude commented 2 years ago

Very dumb PR/fix but type punning -> pinning . Nothing funny about types!

Gankra commented 2 years ago

No punning is the right thing. It's "saying some piece of memory has two different types because you know the layouts overlap in interesting ways". Exactly what transmute and friends do.

I don't think the nomicon even talks about Pin?

Gankra commented 2 years ago

(thanks for the PR tho, appreciate typo fixes in general!)
