It's odd how lazy evaluation is generally seen as a niche design choice, yet the vast majority of languages treat `foo() || bar()` as short-circuiting.

Copilot was super helpful for changing some locals to lazy_static!: let integer_re = Regex::new(...) // old static ref INTEGER_RE = Regex::new(...) // new Unfortunately, it added a $ to the end of my first regex! It saved me a ton of keystrokes, but needed careful checking.

I've met a bunch of lovely Haskell programmers, but I'm always surprised by the range of PL interests they have. (1) Some are particularly into lazy evaluation. I get it: you can do some really elegant code for some problems. I've enjoyed this in other PLs too.
