Re:Rust's Poor Composability by sshine on Thursday April 06, 2023 @11:50AM (#35470102)
It is a non-obvious Rust-ism that if you’re doing something with iterators and you don’t know how, it’s probably .collect(). ;-)

Kind of like how the answer is always ‘traverse’ in Scala.

.collect() gets overloaded a lot to deal with the intricacies of the return type, which usually says a lot about the computation, e.g. Result or HashSet.
