It's telling a (what I assume to be) fictional story. It doesn't need to be some dry technical article just because it happens to have some Rust code in it. Like, if that ain't your thing, then so be it, but I think you're assigning values to it that simply don't apply.
That is: if you were reading a novel or short story, would you have the same complaint?
- gerbilly 6y agoYes I would have the same complaint about the writing style.
- yellowapple 6y agoHow boring and bland. I mean, whatever floats your boat, but that complaint would apply to a significant majority (if not entirety) of well-renowned English literature. I have enough trouble sitting through a book as-is (I'm a slow reader, since I like to "hear" the narration and dialogue in my head); can't imagine how soul-sucking it'd be to sit through a book that just told everything matter-of-factly with no narration personality whatsoever. Like, the style's kinda the whole point. It's a key part of the artistic value of literature, and what makes literature entertaining (or at least moreso than reading a dictionary front to back).
