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?

Are there any package managers that treat changelogs as a first class concept? I end up looking for a CHANGELOG.md or a CHANGES.txt in the source code repository every time. The lack of standard prevents package hosting services being able to show changes.

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?
