Should functions default to pure? * With http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/10/12/extending-the-definition-of-purity-in-rust/ I think most functions will be able to be pure.
* Would avoid the problem of forgetting to mark a function as pure, causing pain for a caller. (Or worse, causing the compiler to generate slower code?) * Would encourage writing pure code, by making pure less typing than impure. * With http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/10/23/function-and-object-types/ the "impure" and "unsafe" modifiers would move in the same direction. (Currently, "pure" and "unsafe" move in opposite directions from the default, which is impure.) _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
