Rust's advantages don't stop at concurrency or type safety. In my experience, the type system is actually much more concise and the APIs are a lot more explicit than any other language I've tried. It's clear when the arg

It actually needs the & in both my example and your second example, because .filter receives a reference to the item being iterated. Your second example doesn't compile: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&am

Oh, yeah, you're right! If you want to collect into a Vec you may need to specify the type, but usually, you can just call `.collect()` and the compiler will infer the correct type (as I suppose you're collecting it to use or retu

I guess you're right, list/generator comprehensions are the idiomatic way to filter and map in python, with the caveat of needing to have it all in a single expression (the same goes for lambda, actually). I still feel like chaine

It looks like I'm on the minority here, but I generally like Rust's syntax and think it's pretty readable. Of course, when you use generics, lifetimes, closures, etc, all on the same line it can become hard to read. But on my

A shadowban is IMO worse than an instaban, you still aren't able to post anything, but it will look like you can. It also feels morally wrong to shadowban people and there's no process to appeal, it's not even straightforward

You shouldn't multiply by 12 if the 500k is yearly. Also what's the 2? 2 engineers? The correct math would be: 1M * 12 * 10% = 1.2M 500k * 2 * taxes >= 1M

Rust has "typedefs" and those are called type aliases. The intention of the newtype pattern is to specifically create a new type without the behaviour of the wrapped type, so if there's a special case just for u8, I would exp
