I gave up half way through. The constant description of deep emotional feelings when it comes to something as sober as data types in the rust standard library make this rather hard to read. It is difficult to untangle the point the author is trying to make from the constant bombardment with deep emotional writing.


If a little lighthearted banter counts as "deeply emotional", I guess I understand why your username is "constant crying"


Even if you do not expect a professional tone it is totally bizarre to write a technical article (which I would have liked to understand, since the question is interesting to me) as if you are talking to a toddler. The allusions to Grand conspiracy theories and grave emotional turns which are everywhere make the article sound as if it was written for children.

I do not like lighthearted banter, but this is not the problem. The problem is that the author has a hard time writing a single paragraph without it. They should seriously consider doing some training in technical or scientific writing.

What a novel comment. But yes, I do hate the constant positivity, especially in the face of a subpar product.


Some people like to have fun. Is it so hard to look away from the things you don't personally like?

As to the underlying topic, this is a very introductory article - I warrant 20 minutes with the source code, and you'd reach the same level of understanding.
