Merge `PatParam`/`PatWithOr`, and `Expr`/`Expr2021`, for a few reasons. - It's conceptually nice, because the two pattern kinds and the two expression kinds are very similar. - With expressions in particular, there are several places where both expression kinds get the same treatment. - It removes one unreachable match arm. - Most importantly, for #124141 I will need to introduce a new type `MetaVarKind` that is very similar to `NonterminalKind`, but records a couple of extra fields for expression metavars. It's nicer to have a single `MetaVarKind::Expr` expression variant to hold those extra fields instead of duplicating them across two variants `MetaVarKind::{Expr,Expr2021}`. And then it makes sense for patterns to be treated the same way, and for `NonterminalKind` to also be treated the same way. I also clarified the comments, because I have long found them a little hard to understand.
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
