Hi,I'm observing rust development for some time, and I must say it slowly encourages me to use it. Especially the progress from Perl-like syntax to more sane and quiet form is enjoyable. That said I wonder why the function definition has form: fn name(var: type, ...) -> return_type {...} instead of more unified: fn name(var: type, ...): return_type {...} Is it constructed to mimic mathematical form f(x)->y or is there other reason i.e. syntax ambiguity?
Personal preference of Graydon, I believe. This is one of the few decisions that has survived from Rust 0.1 :)
I slightly prefer `:` to `->` but never enough to bring it up. Patrick _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
