And yet it is called zero cost. Not "zero cost along one particular dimension that we won't name and only sometimes matters."

- steveklabnik 7y agoWe took it from C++ which has a long history with the term; take it up with Bjarne.
- harry8 7y agoSure he could. And he could take it up with anyone who copies it on a greenfields project too, right? It's a crap name. So what, computing is full of them, assembly language is full of them, C is full of them, C++ is full of them. Sometimes we make a break and don't use one and invent something better. Sometimes... mov [memory], %register memove(dst, src, size); dst = std::move(src); eg RAII, SFINAE these are not great names to be copied, I'd be surprised if rust did.
- harry8 7y agowoo, construed as a rust criticism. Rust is perfect. My apologies... I recant utterly. :s
