To me, the biggest improvement Rust brings to the table is its sane defaults. This, coupled with its type system, makes handling outcomes something you opt out of.

As I continue to use of Rust, I keep finding myself avoiding `if` statements in favor of the `match` statement for this reason alone.

And then you start pipelining all the match statements... Rust almost starts to look functional.
