I don't really understand Rust's `loop {}` syntax. It's syntactic sugar for `while true {}` but it feels odd to have special syntax for this case.
The name `loop` also doesn't imply 'loop with no termination condition' to me (other than break/continue).

A funny side effect of building software in Rust: my machine OOMs much more during development.
I'm not entirely sure why. I think Rust makes it easy to allocate data quickly, and sooner or later you write an infinite loop when coding.
Has anyone built a great solution to 'run all my unit tests automatically'?
It's straightforward to write a while loop in bash, but handling timeouts, syntax errors etc well is hard.
Running on save would be good, although I wonder if you could run fast tests on each keystroke.
I'm experimenting with syntax in examples. I don't really like Rust's `assert(inc(1) == 2)` syntax, I find it a little distracting.
I'm trying `inc(1) //-> 2`. The comment is rendered differently, and there's nothing before the sample code. What do you think?
