And, to be fair, another major plank of the linked post was that Option-style library APIs aren't ubiquitous even in Scala, and certainly not in the larger Java Class Library. This is not true for Rust, where Options<T> (or Result<T, U>)-style APIs exist idiomatically through the libraries (much to users chagrine, at times, anecdotally at least if feedback from net::tcp is any indicator :) _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
