From what I saw, there was one developer spouting some abhorant things, talking about how all Israeli citizens were targets at this point. I haven’t seen anything else about other developers sharing these views though so I’m considering it an isolated nutter until we see more

You don’t have to use the platform. Competition is good, and steam taking 30% is massive. I’m a huge fan of steam but the fears of what happens post-gabe should have us all wanting other companies to put pressure on them. Hopefully it’ll drive them to promise continued pro-consumer practices such as proton (let’s gloss over DRM)

It feels like maybe this could be a code structure issue, but within your example what about something like this?

fn main(){
    let mut counter = 0;
    let output_array = array.into_iter()
        .map(|single_item| {
            // breaks the map if the array when trying to access an item past 5
            if single_item > 5 {
                break;
            }
        })
        .collect()
        .map(|single_item| {
            // increment a variable outside of this scope that's mutable that can be changed by the previous run
            counter += 1;
            single_item.function(counter);
        })
        .collect();
}

Does that kinda syntax work for your workflow? Maybe it’ll require you to either pollute a single map (or similar) with a bunch of checks that you can use to trigger a break though.

Most of the time I’ve been able to find ways to re-write them in this syntax, but I also think that rusts borrowing system although fantastic for confidence in your code makes refactoring an absolute nightmare so often it’s too much of a hassle to rewrite my code with a better syntax.

Oh sorry, I misread what you typed and went on a tangent and just idly typed that in.

One thing you could do for your situation if you’re planning on iterating over some array or vector of items is to use the inbuilt iterators and the chaining syntax. It could look like this

let output_array = array.into_iter()
    .map(|single_item| {
        // match here if you want to handle exceptions
    })
    .collect();

The collect also only collects results that are Ok(()) leaving you to match errors specifically within the map.

This chaining syntax also allows you to write code that transverses downwards as you perform each operation, rather than transversing to the right via indentation.

It’s not perfect and sometimes it’s felt a bit confusing to know exactly what’s happening at each stage, particularly if you’re trying to debug with something mid way through a chain, but it’s prettier than having say 10 levels of nesting due to iterators, matching results, matching options, ect.

Just use this syntax

let myResultObject = getResult() 
let item = match myResultObject {
	Ok(item) => item, 
	Err(error) => {
		return;
	} 
};

Yup, never nest.

All the conditions should be checked and returned if they failed as you go through the function with the successful response being the last line.

Yup, super quick to throw a cut together or some basic footage. It won’t replace the full adobe suite, but if you want to cut basic videos together it’s perfect
