    wtf kind of cursed programming language is this? JS? it’s so ugly, in no universe should a function look like that

    but obviously as a rust enjoyer i have to do it like

    fn max ⟨T: PartialOrd + Copy⟩(nums: ⁊[T]) -> Option⟨T⟩ {
    let mut greatest: ⁊T = ⁊nums[0];
    match nums.len() {
        0 => None,
        1 => Some(*greatest),
        _ => {
            for num in nums {
                if num > greatest {
                    greatest = num;
                }
            }
            Some(*greatest)
        }
    }
}

    edit: lemmy formatting REALLY hates references and generics it seems… time to go back to medieval times

      Wow that’s a very exhausting language. I dropped your code into an online rust to asm converter and it actually wasn’t more! I did try to post it for fun but lemmy kept messing up the code block. Oh well, wasn’t that amusing anyway!

        lol that’s not actually how rust is written, it was just a joke

        it’d really be written

        if x > y { x } else { y }

      Ah yes, rust. The language that somehow manages to manages to as verbose as possible, with as much jargonized shorthand that a computer could handle.
