Who said it was superjesus? It’s one of the smaller points on the long list of rusts advantages over other systems level PLs, but nonetheless notable. Especially if you consider that the feature that makes this possible is used for a ton of other useful stuff. And seriously, the boilerplate does matter, especially if you also add Ord, Hash and Debug impls. Your comparison with pictures in a noval makes no sense, since these add something valuable to the text and are easily distinguished from it. Heaps of boilerplate at a glance look just as meaningful as important sections of code, so being able to avoid it makes navigation significantly easier.
I know the image post was hyperbole, but the way y’all are gushing over it is borderline religious, in an unsettling way.
Immediately, you call boilerplate a Big Deal and identify yourself as a zealot. Even in Java, a notoriously verbose and boilerplate laden language, it’s a Small Deal unless you’re doing something insane. Let me guess, your coding in VI or something.
Rust looks great. It’s a bunch of small improvements over most languages. But True Believers of any lang need to chill the fuck out.
