> The thing is that style lets you ignore errors in cases where the error isn't gonna happen. That's usually bad, but in games it's often fine because you control everything. The equivalent in Rust requires an `unwrap` of some kind which introduces performance and syntactic overhead. The contradiction in your logic here is that if you don't want to handle errors, then don't design your functions to return errors. In addition, many of the larger time game studios write and use their own standard library, so they could devise an efficient 'game stdlib' where they don't have to pay such costs.
