Related to this, something I did 10 years ago and started seeing more often (especially in git-bash!) is to have

* a newline before your current prompt

* a newline after all your context and right before your "$ "

This helped me tremendously with scanning terminal output for years. More default $PS1's should do this.

It's also extremely easy to abuse, which IMO kind of negates the benefit you pointed out.

That's not really about right vs wrong. That's about having a goal and trying to meet that goal. The goal here was to learn Rust, so using Rust to write [whatever] in makes perfect sense for that goal. When I learned to look this way in all things, basically everything in life started to appear differently to me.
