If we were to create a Rust version of this page for Haskell, what cool programming techniques would you add to it?
minus-squarelittle_ferris@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoYeah I don’t mean just terse functional idioms. Any programming technique that blew your mind the first time you came across it would qualify.
minus-squaresilasmariner@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoType guards, then :) very cool, much compiler power, love it
minus-squarelittle_ferris@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoDo you mean RAII guards https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/patterns/behavioural/RAII.html Or match guards? https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/flow_control/match/guard.html
minus-squarenaonintendois@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 month agoMaybe they’re referring to “where clauses”?
minus-squaresilasmariner@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoIndeed I am. Forgot the name, lol, not worked with rust for a few months 😅
