- metaltyphoon 4y agoWhat reason were used to not use what C# has? It’s infinitely less noisy than Rust’s ::
- pcwalton 4y agoUsing a separate character for namespace resolution and field indexing allows you to have a module with the same name as a value.
- metaltyphoon 4y agoWouldn’t this be trivially solved by having namespaces follow the same PascalCase semantics as types? I.e use Std.String; …. let string = String(…);
- dagenix 4y agoThat's a different trade off. It's not a solution.
- munificent 4y agoTechnically, it is only 75% less noisy.
- blub 4y agoParent’s suggestion about typography is nonsense, the Rust project desperately needed somebody with skills in user experience and usability engineering. Now it’s too late.
