Pretty much a nothing burger in Rust, so I disagree that items necessarily hate the concept. Maybe others haven’t done a good job with the UX?
- PaulHoule 2y agoThat. Forcing people to do it right from day one helps a lot. Also Rust attracts a programmer who is willing to accept some pain up front to save pain later, if your motto is "give me convenience or give me death" you might stick with C or Python. If you give people an "easy way out" it is very hard to compel them to do it more rigorously. Look at the history of C++ namespaces as well as the non-acceptance of various "Modula" languages and Ada back in the 1980s.
