While generally, yes, features are bloating up a language, one could argue these two particular features reduce complexity. Like why am I forbidden to use && in a if let? And why does if let support both irrefutable and refutabl

The rust compiler makes use of custom arenas for allocation, quite heavily in fact. And does it without using the nightly-only custom allocator alloc types. Instead, there are functions that let you build structures inside the arena, plus

There are two upcoming features, let chains and let else, to counter the sideways drift. Sometimes it's also the formatter though that outputs intensely sideways drifting code: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust&#x2

Oh I see that's a way different feature then, that Rust indeed doesn't have. You could in theory build a proc macro that supports a meta-language, but it would not be able interact with any of Rust's type system. Rust doesn&#

You have always been allowed to have arrays longer than 32 elements, but dealing with them used to be hard. Beyond the Copy trait, which is a compiler builtin, many traits weren't implemented for arrays with more than 32 elements. Th

Very subtle differences, can be heard, but I have my headphones on. For example, in the last example, "borne" and "commission" seem to have some kind of artificial noise inside the "b" and "c" sounds.
