Since I am being downvoted for expressing a technical criticism, let me clarify:
I like explicitness, readability and clear, unambiguous syntax. Two small dots at the end of a line completely changing the entire block's meaning is, to me, a violation of those principles.
- kibwen 14y agoMy own immediate reaction upon first reading the Rust tutorial was that significant semicolons were completely brain-dead. However, time went on and I was never able to think of a scenario where the compiler wouldn't immediately detect an errant or missing semicolon. Nowadays I completely adore them (though I still recommend that people use an explicit `return` in any expression of nontrivial length).
