This is exactly the kind of situation Rust wants to avoid.

- tatterdemalion 10y agoThis is ill-informed and dogmatic bravado. It has no content. Please don't make comments like this in the future, they are an invariably negative contribution to the conversation. You do not understand the post you are commenting on, which assumed a level of understanding of Rust that made it a poor fit for this venue.
