I’m good at Python, and I don’t know Rust. This looks fine to me. I’ve fully missed the joke.
Same. Until you notice the column of curly braces and semi colons in the right margin.
Lgtm ship it to prod
Hang on, this is just a C++ joke slapped onto Rust.
You could say they have rewritten the joke in Rust
But you get the joke faster now.
rustfmt
is stopping me from writing code like this, and I have never been more happier using it after viewing this.
I’m going to write a tool that automatically adds the braces and semicolons to the column as you edit the code.
I will call it
rustfml
Crap, thats what I was thinking.
It could be run after git checkout and then rustfmt before commit.
Wow, so this is possible.
Formatting is so damn arbitrary. Somebody has to have tried storing just the parse tree on disk, right?
To me it just looks like you do not need the braces at all
Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!
Can’t you fix the default format to this?
I don’t know Rust. 🤷🏻♂️
(I mean, I don’t know a lot of Python either so I can’t even get the joke. 😞)
In Rust and lots of other languages you have to end each statement with a semicolon. The semi colon is usually placed right after the statement, but in this example there’s indentation after each statement before the semicolon so they’re all aligned.
There’s also the curly brackets, they’re padded in the same way, but those usually define where a scope (block) starts and ends making it even worse.
This is why python has to be putdown
I hate it with every fibre of my being but also secretly calmed by that column of statement terminators and brackets.
It’s like the code representation of the Vancouver riots kiss photo.
It took me way too long to notice the horror on the right
This makes my deeply uncomfortable, like an itch I can’t quite scratch.
