so I did one advent of code day in C and I'm just finding more and more flags to pass the compiler - implicit conversions scary, or skill issue???

I assume it's out there but I've always thought representing mutation of variables as () when every other kind of error handling, IO, task, command, error, result whatever you name it has a nice type. Unit feels like a cop-out. What do fancier languages do?

I think things like unwrap, shadowing, unused variables and whatever "bad ideas" needs to exists because: programming is not only about the artifact we ship, it's about the road to that artifact. Using these provided bad ideas can make development much more pleasant.

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.
