Rust does allow you to write a dependencyless C-abi library, without requiring any runtime or such. Hope we'll see you around at some point. :)

(It seems errordeveloper is doing exactly the same flag waving they originally unfairly lambasted you for...)

Lol, supposedly mine wasn't of the same origin. To be fair, you just broke my whole idea of the two groups of people, which indeed was a very poor attempt that by itself will fall into another group. I am going to asume codehero is a nice guy and walk away from this incredibly amusing discussion. Thank you, dbaupp, for pointing this out.

Pattern matching looks cool but I have some concerns. What is the best forum for Rust discussion? I get the feeling HN would rake me over the coals for bringing up switch, falling through case labels and of course, goto.

reddit.com/r/rust is probably the best place to have exploratory discussions.

Although, our pattern matching is a strict superset of C's switch (other than fall-through). But yeah, fall-through and goto aren't supported yet, and if we were to get them (in safe code), they may have to be restricted to preserve memory safety.
