But by that argument every feature in a language is it's own separate language. "This is the language that can only be written inside function definitions", "This is the language that can only be written inside ternary operators" and so on.
- woodruffw 4y agoSure: you can clearly drive this to absurdity. The list I gave was the ones I've heard people in the Rust community, including official Rust language documents, refer to as separate languages. Does that guarantee that we're carving the nature of "computer language" at its joints? No; it's merely a shorthand for expressing the range of syntaxes and semantics that you need to know to "fully" know Rust.
