This blog post will use mostly Rust and Haskell code snippets to demonstrate its points. But I don’t believe the core point is language-specific at all. Here’s a bit of Rust code to read the contents of input.txt and print it to stdout. What’s wrong with it? fn main() { let s = std::fs::read_to_string(“input.txt”).unwrap(); println!(“{}”, […]
