On: A taste of Rust

[jerf]

I've written a lot of Python too. When I need to span lines, usually there's an easy way to use parens to do

    blahblah = long().invocation_of.something(with,
                   lots, of, parameters)

which is generally more idiomatic. (Of course one wishes to avoid long lines at all but that's not always possible.)

I found that parnes rule used as an awful hack a lot of times. I use it only when the parens are naturally placed, but there are people that just add two parens to avoid one backslash... completely insane!

How is the backslash better? The parantheses can stay if you join two lines or split them.

Yup, and parens also allow comments.
