You're outdated. Today the fashion is to rewrite with millions lines of Rust of which at least 90% are boilerplate to keep the compiler happy.

- smcl 3y agoI find Rust a bit hard to follow (having not studied it in any great detail) but a good deal of that boilerplate either avoids common problems in code or allows you to explicitly say "yes I know I'm doing something dangerous". However for a while you're right people may have gotten a little bit carried away with "RIIR" - but I cannot fault someone for being enthusiastic :)
- cheaprentalyeti 3y agoWell, when the pair of Rust Witnesses come by in suit and tie to testify to the power of their language and to ask you to move to that language, you're supposed to kidnap them and make them write the program and boring boilerplate for you.
