A personal list of Rust grievances
The two on here that stand out as things I agree with but don't see called out much are:> allowing semicolons to be omitted after some expressions, like match, if/else, and ifThis drives me up the wall. I know a lot of rust's aesthetic is there to make C++ programmers comfortable (I'm a recovering C++ programmer myself), but it would have been so much better if semicolons had been left out.It seems like we put a semicolon on every line (except the ones mentioned above! But only if they're not subexpressions!) just to make the whole "you don't need to say return in the last statement" look clever.> Confusion about whether to use kebab-case or snake_case for crate names I now lean to the former, but it's impossible to import snake case crates using kebab case, leading to an ugly mix in my Cargo.toml file.I'm so tired of guessing which one I need every time I import a crate in Cargo.toml. Never mind that this is a blatant opportunity to make supply-chain attacks. I don't know why these are treated as distinct names in crate names, and if there are any conflicting crates out there in the wild right now they should probably all be forced to rename.My personal pet peeve that doesn't come up much is the way magic impls around From/TryFrom/Into/TryInto conspire to make incredibly obtuse error messages about implementing TryFrom or the like. I'm not entirely convinced having these 'helpful' impls is really worth it, at least not the way they were implemented.
