! This is hilarious and I need to use it somewhere now.While funny, this also highlights part of why I like rust’s error handling story so much: You can really just read the happy path and understand what’s going on. The error handling takes up minimal space, yet with one glance you can see that errors are all handled (bubbled up in this case). The usual caveats still apply, of course ;)
I’m writing my Rust wrong… I have match statements everywhere to the degree that it’s cluttering up everything.
Most likely you can get by with adjusting the return type and using a ? or maping to a type that you can use the ? on.
