Rust's 2018 roadmap

Re:Rust's 2018 roadmap by fnord77 on Monday March 12, 2018 @03:19PM (#16570606)

intellij's rust plugin is pretty good at type interference.

Also sometimes I just let the compiler tell me by forcing the let variable to something that it is obviously not:

`let not_a_string: String = get_something_that_I_have_no_idea();`

error [4242]: expected type String, found type &*YouWouldNeverHaveGuessed

You can get feedback before the compiler kicks in by asking IntelliJ to explicitly define the type.

It’s a trick I used quite a bit when playing about with rust, and Kotlin actually.

Alt + Enter should invoke intentions pop up, you can do it from there. (I think)

This works quite well, until you're dealing with stuff such as `AndThen` with 10 different nested futures. Here, again, async/await will be a great help.
