I'm trying to decide the best voice for PL documentation.
Passive: "`let` can be used with destructuring."
Reader focused: "You can use `let` with destructuring."
Describing the PL: "FooLang supports destructuring with `let`."
Anyone have opinions or best practices?
The Matter protocol is excellent for puns.
"Does it Matter? It doesn't Matter."
I really like pattern matching in Rust, but I find myself using it less and less.
`if let` and `let ... else` require substantially less indentation, and I often use them for Option values.
I don't miss this syntactic sugar in OCaml though. Maybe it's just because OCaml has a 2 space indent, unlike Rust's 4 space indent?
