Can you point me to the console version of Dota 2?

I completely agree.
Path/PathBuf have better names, but the distinction still isn't immediately obvious.
String/str is the cause of so much confusion.

Anything implemented for &str is automatically implemented for String, because String implements Deref<Target=str>.
Most useful "String" methods are actually &str methods that you get access to through that deref trait.
Dereferencing a String doesn't return a raw pointer, I'm not sure where you got that idea.

No thanks. Rust made the right call by distinguishing between owned (String) and borrowed (str) strings. Even C++ is moving in that direction now, by finally adding string_views (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string_view)

After many many decades of despicable leaders and policies, surely you have to conclude that the people themselves must be despicable?

How do racist slurs and threatening to murder millions of people "advance the global, public conversation"?

Sorry there may be a cultural gap here. I'm not familiar with that phrase at all.

Can you explain what this means?
