Nah, there's lots of times you need to specify the types of Vec, either because 1. You don't want the default `i32` integer type and this is just a temporary vector of integers. 2. Rust's type inference is not perfect and som

This is like complaining that in C you can write a->b (a->b) (*a).b ((*a).b) Being able to use disambiguated syntaxes, and being able to add extra brackets, isn't an issue. PS. The formatting tooling normaliz

Hmm, I wonder if also having a normal 3d camera that projects to 1d view (i.e. a line) would be a useful teaching aid for this... or if it would just be equally confusing in different ways.

I assume the relevant performance benchmarking would be of the http server APIs it exposes to lua, not lua itself.

Considering one of the project goals at the top of the readme is "Don't be obnoxiously slow" obviously not - it doesn't claim to be fast at all.

That's exactly how the term runtime is consistently used in the JS world... not sure it's misleading at all. Certainly less exciting/ambitious than if the interpreter was also rewritten, but its what it says on the tin as I u

Rust's foo: Option<&T> is rust's rough equivalent to C++'s const T* foo. The C++ *foo is equivalent to the rust unsafe{ *foo.unwrap_unchecked() }, or in safe code *foo.unwrap() (which changes the undefined behavior

Unwrap is used in places where in C++ you would just have undefined behavior. It wouldn't make any more sense to blanket ban it than it would ban ever dereferencing a pointer just in case its null - even if you just checked that it was

While I haven't tried leaving the field blank on every credit card form I've come across, I'm certain that at least some of them considered it required. Perhaps its country specific?

If you count Rc/Arc as garbage collection you should count RAII + The Borrow Checker (i.e. all safe rust) as garbage collection too IMHO. It collects garbage just as automatically - it just does so extremely efficiently. That said I te
