I think this is precisely one of the bigest issue, from a newbee point of view. And I agree with spir on this point. It's not that important, but you end up placing them everywhere "to make the compiler happy".
~str should be a ~T. If it is not, it should use another semantic. However, I don't see where you explain this subtility in the tutorial, didn't you added it recently? PS: I'm french, I know pretty well that all subtilities (other words for "exception to the general rules") my natural language has their own reason, BUT if I wanted to redesign french, I would get rid of all these rules, exceptions, rules in the exceptions. And exceptions in the rules of exceptions... ----- Gaetan 2013/11/19 Daniel Micay <danielmi...@gmail.com> > On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 7:27 AM, Gaetan <gae...@xeberon.net> wrote: > > "The most common use case for owned boxes is creating recursive data > > structures like a binary search tree." > > > > I don't think this is the most common use of owned boxes: string > management, > > ... > > > > I don't think it a good idea to place "binary search tree" in a tutorial. > > You don't do this every day :) > > > > ----- > > Gaetan > > ~str isn't an ~T, in the existing type system >
