Closures are the bread and butter of functional programming, but Rust made closures a complicated mess.
Closures are a complicated mess. Functional programming languages hide the mess with garbage collection.

I haven't worked in construction for over a decade, but I remember my Bosch tools being quite good. I would have loved to be able to afford Hilti though. Bosch is pro-sumer grade, so it wouldn't surprise me if they've enshittified as well; however Hilti tools are for professionals (and priced as such), so if you have deep pockets that's probably the best bet.

I've read that after Commodus was assassinated, Rome tired to scrub his existence from history. I don't know why I'm mentioning this; it's completely unrelated.

The point is Rust provides more safety guarantees than C. But unwrap is an escape hatch, one that can blow up in your face. If they had taken the Haskell route and not provide unwrap at all, this wouldn't have happened.

"The fromJust function extracts the element out of a Just and throws an error if its argument is Nothing."

Maybe it's pedantic, but Orwell's title is "Nineteen Eighty-Four", not "1984".

I live in Kyoto. There are a lot of tourists, but they all go to the same handful of spots. I avoid those places as much as I can. Kyoto is an amazing city: clean, safe, convenient, inexpensive (outside the tourist spots), full of history, culture, and nature.

If someone shoots a person with your gun, you gonna say it wasn't you and expect them not to question any you further? Not very no-brainer, is it?
This is how it works in Poland and, I assume, most/all of EU and the rest of the world.
