minus-squarevoxel@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-21 year agoyeah structs, consts ets should always be explicit, prevents a lot oh headache also, for adhoc stuff rust has closures which can be fully inferred (but you need to convert them to explicit function pointers for storage in structs/consts)
