Neat FP style. Pretty verbose though. Someone should invent a terser syntax so you don’t need to write
do_two_things
everywhere. It’s a common operation so maybe it could even be a single character.If you know about rust you know it’s a programmable programming language, meaning that you can make macros. There could be a macro that would do that but 1. Macros is rust code to write rust code so they have the complexity of rust squared 2. I said to myself the only macros I will allow myself to use in this challenge is println and allow
Like a semicolon? No, too boring. What about >>=
Finally, pure functional rust.
Now do it without using commas
After programming in Go for nearly a decade, the idea of going back to needing semicolons brings me pain. Rust seems cool, but semicolons 🤢
As you can see, rust allows you to not put semicolons at the end of code blocks. The presence of semicolons is not a language killer. It’s a very hard language, but its worth it.
The presence of semicolons is not a language killer.
I’m not saying it is. But every time I have to work in a language that requires semicolons I’m constantly forgetting them and constantly reminded of how nice it is to not have to care in Go.
