A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Rust is an imperative programming language with strong functional programming influences. It started out implemented in ocaml.
The main functional programming influences are a strong functional programming-esk type system and heavy use of pattern matching.
The syntax is a bit odd though, neither fully matching C style syntaxes or functional syntaxes like ML or Haskell.
