> Rust eliminates each of these points: all integer types have an
explicit size, and all types are prefixed with either i or u for
signed and unsigned respectively. There’s no bias towards a
certain size or signedness.
Most of that paragraph is objectively false:
fn main() {
let i = 1;
let j = 1;
print!("i: {:?}\n", !i);
print!("j: {:?}\n", !j);
// spooky action at a distance
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
v[i];
}
Only a small percentage of rust programmers could explain what's going on here before compiling and running this program. I fully expect one of the more obnoxious ones to come along any second and defend it by throwing in a lot of unrelated information and not addressing the fact this is a confusing example despite being so simple.
