I didn't suggest we remove fmt!, but that we make the default println! not do formatted output by itself. My motivation is to make the tool you reach for first solve 80% of the use cases and be as simple as possible. Support for i18n is a great thing, and I hope we provide it out of the box, but it's a lot more complicated than printfln(). Do we want that complexity in the basic print function? If so, what are the proposals for managing that complexity? As an addendum, I think debug! and friends should work similarly. I'll also note that there's no debugln! and I haven't seen any complaints about that. having debug! and debugf! seems reasonable if people really feel strongly that they need formatted output in printf style. jack. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
