Just meaning the website CDecl - its a neat tool to make C readable in English, but Ada is a real language used to make planes fly etc. Many people have contempt for it though which is why I made the joke xD
Interesting that you can note which type of memory an anonymous type comes from in Rust. I suppose its for optimization purposes? Doesn't seem that helpful from a pure typing perspective.
As an aside I doubt a layman would be able to understand that notation in Rust, whereas my girlfriend might be able to grasp or read Ada code or the output of CDecl.
