Rust's 2017 Roadmap

Re:Rust's 2017 Roadmap by pjungwir on Tuesday February 07, 2017 @02:01AM (#13587672)

So I'm only a Rust amateur (I mean I don't get paid to use it), but I'm on my third round trying to build something with it, and I feel like I'm finally starting to get it. A couple warts I've encountered:

- No support for default struct fields: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1594

- Terrible signatures for functions that return iterators: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2h26cj/functions_retu...

If the next push is going to be for ease-of-use, those would be two nice things to fix.

A feature designed as a fix for the second problem is already in nightly:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34511

Who knows when it'll be stabilized, though.

I think if you don't mind the overhead you can box the iterator
