"I feel like the Rust compiler is just yelling at me constantly" not fair to blame the compiler for being good at its job

  If the job is to increase productivity, constantly yelling is probably not a good way to do the job.

    Is the job to increase productivity? Or is it to remove entire classes of bugs while not killing productivity at the same time?
    • baddox 12y ago
      Removing bugs is a special case of increasing productivity.

        The goal could as well be to increase reliability at the cost of productivity.

        I'm not sure if shipping buggy code can be considered productivity.

  It's not the case that all wrestling with the borrow checker is about bugs: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/6393 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/6393
