&gt; I enjoy that Rust just decided to change their &quot;try&quot; syntax for calling a function that could possibly fail to a simpler &quot;?&quot; suffix, and now we get Duffy praising how well &quot;try&quot; worked out for them. :P<p>The Rust community did no such thing. The status of the RFC is currently that they will implement &#x27;?&#x27; as a gated feature (which is only available if you&#x27;re on the nightly toolchain) and see if it is useful. If it&#x27;s found to obfuscate the code like many people have suggested, then they will take it back out.
