Stuff like this? You mean closures? That's what you find amazing? What is considered ordinary in other programming languages is considered amazing in Rust. Amazing.

You like it? Do you work for mozilla? If there is a tech evangelist of the year award, I will vote for you. I've never seen someone take absolutely nothing and try to spin it into something positive.
Edit: Instadownvotes by the evangelists. I like it!

It's not that lambdas themselves are hard, it's that they made it work with all of the other constraints of the language.
