> thus, by default, you're essentially writing FP code using a 'procedural' paradigm and syntax I've not heard it described this way. It's an idea I can get behind. A lot of the native code I write tends to try and be as functional as possible, or at least avoiding relying on shared mutable state. And don't get me wrong. I think that Rust is a significant upgrade to the status quo. Perhaps it's just time to keep hacking away at it until it clicks.
